What Is An
All-America City?
 The All-America City Award is the
oldest and most respected community recognition program within the nation. The
year 2007 marks the National Civic League's 58th anniversary of bestowing the
award, which recognizes communities whose residents work together to identify
and tackle community-wide challenges and achieve measurable, uncommon results. A
broad cross-section of the community is engaged in such initiatives, to include
youth, business leaders, elected officials, city staff, and non-profit groups.
Annually, only ten cities are
selected as All-America Cities. These communities exemplify the true American
spirit at work, as their residents are actively committed to ensuring that their
community is a safe, nurturing place to live.
Lewiston, Maine, is the first
Maine city in 40 years to earn the distinction of All-America City, selected by
a jury panel of national experts on local government and community affairs.
Auburn, Maine, obtained the award in 1967.
