Historic Eastside Neighborhood Assoc.

The Historic Eastside Neighborhood is bounded by 9th Avenue on the North, 3rd Avenue on the South and Kimbark and Martin Streets on the West and East, respectively. A section of our neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, having many outstanding homes built in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This is Longmont's first neighborhood, settled originally as the "Chicago-Colorado Colony" in 1871.

When/Where HENA Meets & Our Newsletter

The Historic Eastside Neighborhood Association meets at 7:30 PM on alternating 2nd Thursday and 2nd Wednesday every other month. The first meeting of the year is on the 2nd Thursday of Jan. Meetings are held in the City of Longmont Civic Center Complex (350 Kimbark St.) Council Chambers. Everyone is invited.

The Historic Eastside Neighborhood Association Newsletter keeps us connected. It announces events and describes ways for us to join together to improve the quality of life in our community. We learn about our neighbors and the histories of our houses. It also alerts us to problems that may require urgent action.

Our free newsletters are published bimonthly, beginning in February. Volunteer block representatives distribute them to residences throughout the neighborhood. If you are not receiving a newsletter or if you can help with the distribution, please call Bob Carlson at 303-774-1997.
