History

Downtown residents organized the Downtown Neighborhood Association in 1997, stepping into the organizational shoes of a defunct entity by the same name that had been formed a few years before for other purposes. Around 2000, the DNA changed its name to the Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association (DANA). DANA adopted Articles of Association in January 2003, and received 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status in 2004.
