Neighborhood History

This history of the neighborhood plays a vital part in the identity of its residents. If you have lived in the neighborhood for many years, the neighborhood history is a heartfelt reminder of days gone by.

If you have just come to call the neighborhood home, it is a way to learn more about the new community you have joined. We would love nothing more than to be able to share the history of neighborhood name with all who reside there. If you are interested in writing a brief history of the neighborhood to share with the community, please contact us!

  • Kanwaka Literary Club Records 1992-1997
    The club became more structured in 1920, adopting a constitution which required new members be approved by the existing membership. By the end of that decade the club split after a prospective member was not admitted. Sixteen members withdrew to form the Goodwill Club, another women's club of similar purpose.

    In order to sustain the club's membership rolls, the Kanwaka Literary Club traditionally voted daughters of members into the organization. This procedure, never written into the constitution, has allowed the club to remain active for five generations.
