Book Details

Thoroughgood is a highly desirable residential community older than its city. It is distinctive as the proud site of the historic Adam Thoroughgood House. Come on a journey in time to learn about the development of the 1,000 homes here, including the people and events that influenced its progress, and the growth and changes in the surrounding community.


The Thoroughgood Civic League was formed in 1957. Its purpose is to bring into organization the residents and property owners of Thoroughgood to promote good fellowship, encourage interchange of ideas and further the best interest of this subdivision toward beautification, recreation, sanitation, and safety of the residents, and protection of their property investments.
