OUR HISTORY
On October 12, 1968, at the invitation of Al Bergman, about 50 people gathered at Norton's Hall, to form an organization for the betterment and improvement of Long Island, by and for the property owners and their families. At that first meeting, a hat was passed around, and $39.50 was collected as funds for mailing and legal fees.
In early 1969, after many meetings, the Long Island Civic Association was officially formed, and so began the long history of an organization that has played a crucial role in making the island a beautiful, friendly and fun place to live and visit.
In 2016, LICA has 370 members, and a solvent treasury. For nearly 50 years, LICA has contributed major donations to other island organizations and causes, such as the Long Island Library, Historical Society, and Recreation Committee.
