Landings’ 50th Anniversary Update

2022 marks a significant year for The Landings, as the community celebrates its Golden Anniversary. Plans are under way to make it a spectacular, year-long celebration!

Phase I of The Landings officially opened in September of 1972. The main entrance was what is now the North Gate. Landings Way and Wiley Bottom Road formed a loop on the south end, and Priest Landing and Monastery Road formed a similar loop on the north end. To learn more f about our community’s history, read The Landings’ Formative Years, written by Richard Burke, a Landings Resident and one of the developers of our community. You can find his book on The Landings Association’s website as a resource listed under “History” on our 50th Anniversary page (www.landings.org/50th). During this year of remembrance and revelry, historical tidbits will be revealed and celebrated as together we commemorate a year of tribute, parties, parades, and community camaraderie!
