In 1986, Tantallon North was a small scattered community of about 100 homes.  Autumnwood Lane consisted of a distinct section of paved roadway separated by a metal barrier and a long section of unpaved dirt trail passable only by motorcycles and/or all -drive vehicles.  Othman Drive was a dead-end street with only a few houses completed.  Ishtar and Aten Streets each contained two complete houses and were basically dirt trails.  Construction of homes on Hazem Court and Othman Court was just in the beginnings stages.  Residents had many concerns about the slow pace of progress in such fundamental areas as street paving and street lighting.  Additionally, other services such as snow plowing, street cleaning and police patrols were either poor or non-existent.  In June 1986, a committee was formed to organize the Tantallon North  Area Civic Association.  That committee created and distributed a letter of interest to each of the approximate 100 houses in the area, inviting them to an organizational meeting at Harmony Hall Regional Center.  The agenda was specific and listed a number of area concerns.  A kickoff meeting was held as planned on July 15, 1986 beginning the Tantallon North Area Civic Association (TNACA).

As of January 2018, the Tantallon North Area has grown to approximately 500 homes.  Our boundaries include Flaim Lane to Syria Court on Fort Washington Road, Sero Estates Drive and intersecting streets, and Autumnwood Lane from Fort Washington Road to Braeburn Street.

The Tantallon North Area Civic Association  is an active and necessary organization continuing to provide volunteer assistance, leadership, and a community voice for its residents.
