What are the boundaries of the Historic Eastside?
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.
HENA is a non-HOA neighborhood group, and so it only represents residents within these boundaries.
Where can I find out more about the history of my neighborhood?
The Historic Eastside is Longmont’s first neighborhood, settled originally as the “Chicago-Colorado Colony” in 1871.
A section of our neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, having many outstanding homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
