History
editThe Ciudad Jardín neighborhood is historically linked to Prosperidad, having been a part of the same suburb since its origins in 1862.[3] Since 1898, the present Ciudad Jardín was integrated into the Prosperidad neighborhood, which belonged to the Buenavista district. In 1955 the town hall of Madrid added the town of Chamartín de la Rosa to the municipality as a new district, incorporating the Prosperidad neighborhood. A 1987 municipal decree divided Prosperidad in two different neighborhoods, Prosperidad and Ciudad Jardín, using the Calle de López de Hoyos as a limit, the commercial axis of the early neighborhood.[3] This placed the "Plaza de Prosperidad" and the Prosperidad Metro station in Ciudad Jardín, not in Prosperidad.
