COMMUNITY PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear residents of Greater Fulton, In case you haven’t noticed yet, the Civic Association name and logo have had an update since our last issue. On the front cover, you’ll see what I mean. The word “Hill” in our association name has been dropped in favor of the all-inclusive name “Greater Fulton.” Or perhaps you didn’t notice and that’s even better. Many of us have been referring to ourselves as Greater Fulton since the Greater Fulton’s Future initiative several years ago. We are three areas: Fulton, Fulton Hill, and Montrose Heights, but together we are the Greater Fulton community. The fact that this has been a gradual progression is exciting evidence that this name change has been a grass-roots transition. It’s come from us as a community. That is something we can celebrate. Rosa Coleman Appreciatively, Rosa D. Coleman “…And now they are running businesses” continued own boss, we referred Ms. Buchanan to UnboundRVA. We were extremely proud Community Contacts of her dedication to the program, and after several months of hard work she was Greater Fulton Hill Civic Association selected to advance in the final round to launch Buchanan’s Cleaning Services.

DUTTON, M.A. DARA A. FRIEDBERG, M.S. JANUARY 2017 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The results of the study revealed that the project area was in the vicinity of the earliest settled area of Rocketts Landing. Historic maps and documents indicate that early development would have been consigned primarily to the western portion of the project area. Gillies Creek flowsd south and east of the project area, and at times possibly within it. The tributary Bloody Run, now filled, bisected the project area. Development had occurred in the western portion of the land by the early nineteenth century in form of dwellings and a tobacco factory. Following the incredible success of the City Gas Works on Cary Street between 15th and 16th streets, the City purchased land in Rocketts Landing for the construction of a new plant. The plant began operations in 1856. The Civil War, multiple floods, and changes in manufactured gas technology necessitated multiple repairs and rebuildings of the Gas Works. Changes between the 1920s and 1950s created the more modern layout of the site. What had become known as Fulton Gas Works continued operations until 1972 from which time it has remained vacant.

If any ethnic group is referred to, it is almost in­ variably either the Germans, the Irish or the Jews, in spite of the fact that it is evident from even the most casual perusal of the Richmond city directory or the telephone directory that there are many city residents whose ancestors were not the traditional Anglo-Saxons, their slaves, or members of the three above mentioned groups.
