The Creston neighborhood was the first neighborhood to organize its own associations. The Creston Citizens Association formed in 1906. Though this group helped to establish the Creston neighborhood, they are not related to the Creston Neighborhood Association of the present.

The Creston Neighborhood Association was formed in 1970. On October 28, 2003, by unanimous vote, the North End Neighborhood Association was absorbed into the Creston Neighborhood Association.

Most of the documents from this collection come mainly from the “Creston Neighborhood Association” vertical file. Copies of “The C.N.A. News” were printed from the association’s website.
