Biographical Information
The Citizen’s Association of Nantucket was a private group created in 1893 with the intention of giving Nantucket taxpayers a place to hold a general discussion in a social manner concerning all town questions prior to the Annual Town Meetings. The constitution of the body required that all members pay a 25-cent annual fee in order to participate in the body’s meeting, and it drew 297 members in its first year. Despite this early interest, the Citizen’s Association of Nantucket failed to gain traction and the body held its last meeting in 1894, only a year after its founding.
