Alcova Heights was originally developed by Joseph Cloyd Byars (Alcova is a combination of letters from  Al \nexandria  Co \nunty,  Va \n). Mr. Byars bought a 142-acre farm from the Columbia Land Company in 1921 and sold lots for five cents an acre. The original home on his property was built by John M. Young on what was then called Springhill Farm. He renamed the house Alcova, and it is still located at 3435 8th Street South.\n","The Alcova Heights neighborhood originally had been part of the Columbia Pike Citizens Association. However, on January 21, 1933, the Alcova Heights Citizen Association (AHCA) was formed as a \"forum for community activism and social life\" (Anthony B. Toth,  Alcova Heights - A History of our Neighborhood , 2005). \n","RG 3, Arlington Hall, Collected Materials , contains material on the history of Arlington Hall as both a girls finishing school and as a federal property.  RG 126, Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization Records , has more information on the development of Columbia Pike in the 1980s and 1990s. Finally,  RG 334, the J. Cloyd Byars Papers , contains the papers of the founder of Alcova Heights.\n","The files and items donated by the Alcova Heights Citizens Association (AHCA) came in several binders, bags, and file folders. Most valuable for the history of the association are the newsletters (1996-2014) and the neighborhood conservation plans (1967-2013). Of particular interest are three series of files. The first,  Series 6, Arlington Hall , involves the installation of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Army National Guard on the former grounds of Arlington Hall.  \n","Series 8, Arlington Presbyterian Church , involves the Arlington Presbyterian Church, 3507 Columbia Pike, which sold its property in 2016 to the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing to build low-income apartments. Alcova Heights, a neighbor, was asked to weigh in on the possible historic designation of the church to save it from demolition. \n","Series 7, Columbia Pike Initiative , comprise another important Alcova Heights issue. The Columbia Pike Initiative was established by the Arlington County Board in 1998 \"to build a safer, cleaner, more competitive and vibrant community along the entire length of Columbia Pie, from the Pentagon to the Fairfax County line.\" Areas studied include land use, urban design, historic preservation, parks and recreation, housing and transportation. \n","Most of the records that make up this collection date predominately from 2000 to 2014, but there are other records that predate this time period, with clippings from as early as 1909.

The correspondence in  Subgroup 3, Series 7 , was originally in binders with the executive committee minutes ( Subgroup 3, Series 2 ) for the designated years.  Subgroup 5  is the donated records of the Secretary of the ACCF, Tommye Morton. The records have been maintained in the original order of one file for each month and a file for a yearly index.

Folders containing photographs have an asterisk [*] after the file name.\n","Founded in 1916 and still active, the Arlington County Civic Federation is a non partisan organization composed of member community organizations. Each member association \"sends delegates to meetings to discuss and adopt positions or resolutions on community civic matters that affect Arlington County and its citizens.\" The Federation has no official status nor is it part of the local government. Through its member organizations, meetings, and numerous committees, the Federation has been responsible for educating local citizens about major issues affecting the county and has played an active role in bringing about major improvements throughout the county. The Federation has also served as one of the county government \"watchdogs\" through monitoring and influencing County Board decisions and actions. The Federation presents citizens' collective views to the Board on issues which include zoning, schools, libraries, parks, police, taxes, transportation, development, and planning.\n","The Community Archives hold the records of many different county organizations that are members of the Civic Federation.
