The Greater Fulton Hill Civic Association began in 1981 when former Fire Chief John Finnegan gathered neighbors together to address issues of Fulton Hill. The name, Greater Fulton Hill, was selected to indicate that the Association includes the residents of Fulton (Bottom), Fulton Hill, and Montrose Heights. The Association states its purpose as such: "to promote the health, safety, and well-being of the residents of Fulton, Fulton Hill, and Montrose Heights. We encourage communication to identify the needs of the community and we encourage all residents to work together to address those needs and to work to improve the overall quality of life in our community." Mary Ellen Otto, former President of the Association, helped launch the Greater Fulton Hill Civic Association Newsletter, which is distributed twice yearly to some 2,000 residents and business. All residents of Fulton Hill are automatically members of the Association. Bi-monthly meetings are held at the Neighborhood Resource Center, Fulton Hill's own community resource center.
