The route of the Old San Jose Road through the district (also known as the El Camino Real) would become the future streets of Diamond and Chenery, so the route was already well known and well traveled. In 1897, realtor Archibald S. Baldwin of the agency Baldwin & Howell had a plan for developing a new residential district. While the remote district had been made more accessible with the opening of the San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Railway in 1892 by Behrend Joost (to bring residents to his new Sunnyside residential district just to the south), Baldwin needed an enticement to attract potential buyers to the region.

He became a Member of the Parliament for the fourth time in 2008 and was appointed Chairman National Assembly's Standing Committee on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan. In that capacity he was a proponent of peace and the idea that both countries should promote trade and other means of people-to-people contacts across the Line of Control to pave way for resolving the Kashmir issue. One of the greatest landmarks in Shahzada Mohiuddin's political career is his work on restarting the Lowari Tunnel Project which has opened avenues of progress and prosperity for the remote district. Due to its geographical situation, Chitral would remain totally cut off from the rest of the country for up to five months every winter due to heavy snowfall on the 10,200-feet-high Lowari Pass; one of the only two land routes connecting the district to other parts of the country.
