History

The Laurel Park Improvement Association was incorporated on June 5, 1925.

We are looking for legacy families to lead and participate on the 100th Anniversary Committee so we can document historical facts and findings in time for the celebration on June 8, 2025. Sign up for Some Sleuthing and in the meantime, dig into those old boxes and photo albums so we can build a timeless, LPIA 100th gallery.
