ENA President’s Letter
Dear Neighbors,
The other day I was driving along and noticed one of the new Eastover Neighborhood stickers on the back of a car and found myself looking to see who it was. As I approached the traffic light and got a closer look, I realized that this was not someone I knew. While I would like to know everyone in our neighborhood, I was pleased to see that the little green and white logo caught my attention and identified this car as one of my neighbors. These stickers not only help each of us identify who lives…

From Leland Speed: A Brief History of Eastover
In 1948, Katherine and Leland Speed decided to build a new home on the land that is now Eastover. Mr. Frank Fort, an architect with the firm of Fort and White here in Jackson, did the land plan, as well as the design of their home.
My father’s original plan had been to simply run a single road from Ridgewood Road to where Meadowbrook and Eastover Drive intersect. Mr. Fort persuaded him to raise his sights and go to Houston, Texas and take a look at River Oaks – the highest end residential development in Houston.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose and function of the ENA?
A: Security is the principal function of the ENA. Virtually all of the dues are allocated to the Security Patrol. As of October 2009, the ENA determined it was time to replace Wackenhut as the security provider for Eastover. This led to the hiring of off-duty Jackson Police Department officers, who are organized and led by Precinct 4 Commander Kenneth Goodrum. The Eastover Security Patrol is on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Reports are made each day that include any incidents within the neighborhood,…
