Administrative History

Sunnyside Neighborhood Association was established in 1974 to bring residents together to preserve, enhance, and empower the livability of the neighborhood. The group holds quarterly meetings, publishes a newsletter, and serves as a unified voice for the district. Located in south-central San Francisco, Sunnyside was founded in 1891 by Behrend Joost. It contains about 2800 households in its 43 blocks. Notable sites are City College and the Sunnyside Conservatory.

Scope and Contents
