“To make Woodlawn a better place in which to live” is the rallying cry of the Association. The Association’s first meeting was held on May 10, 1895, and one of the complaints addressed was that “the lamplighter has not been around for three nights.” The first political action of the Association was to protest the increased five-cent fare bill on the Harlem line railroad. That was the beginning of over a century of commitment to this community, and it has continued with many major victories throughout the years. The Association is proud to have been the leader in the fight to bring these “firsts” to Woodlawn:
First Public School
First Fire Department
First Public Library
First Playground
First Bank
First Public Transportation
First Telephone Lines
First Electrical Power
First Post Office
