The first formal meeting of Farrington’s Grove Historical District, Inc., took place in 1976 under the sponsorship of the Terre Haute Redevelopment Department. The purpose was to form a neighborhood program to raise the standard of housing in the District through restoration and improved maintenance. A major early achievement came in the spring of 1986, when Farrington’s Grove became the first residential neighborhood in Terre Haute to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

In keeping with the goals of the bylaws (below), FGHD, Inc. has always been actively involved in zoning issues, striving to preserve the historic character of the neighborhood, achieve optimal population density, and prevent incompatible use of properties. Over time, the organization has sought to more fully embrace its mission by including regular events which enhance quality of life (such as the spring and fall Beautification Days), increase civic engagement (non-partisan local voter guides), and promote the District to those living outside its boundaries (Holiday Home Tour).
