The area we take under our wing goes from Castle Forbes Bay to Surges Bay, and is known as the Greater Geeveston Area. This is the area that was previously the Municipality of Esperance, which was administered from the Geeveston Town Hall, until it was incorporated into the Huon Valley Council in 1993, along with other regional municipalities.
Port Huon currently has its own Progress Association even though Geeveston considers Port Huon as one of its suburbs. 😉
The Geeveston Progress Association has been active in the community, in one form or another, for over 100 years. Historic details of past members and projects are archived in locations unknown.
Bringing information online means we have only a limited retrospective scope.
If you'd like to join us in progressing Geeveston as a vibrant community, it's easy to become a member.
