Citizens' League

The Citizens' League was a political group formed in the early 20th century, primarily to promote reform and good governance at the local level. It aimed to improve city management by advocating for professional administration, reducing corruption, and increasing transparency in government operations. Typically composed of community-minded citizens and professionals, the league sought practical solutions to municipal issues, often emphasizing efficiency, accountability, and modernization of city services. Its initiatives helped reshape local politics away from old political machines toward more progressive and community-focused governance.
