This link shares the history of Ocean City and towards the end shares the story of the founding of Caine Woods Community Association.
On Sept. 2, 1981, residents Steve and Arlene Johanson, George Pleat, Fred Witt, George Bud Weszka and Charlie and Joan Burger met at the home of Richard Thobe. They developed bylaws and planned a neighborhood social event to be held at the Burger home.(Submitted on October 6, 2024, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
Weszka was elected president; Cooper, vice president; Joan Burger, secretary, and Thobe, treasurer of what was then called the Parker Estates Community Association. (Gene Parker, another local developer, had purchased a number of lots from Caine. Parker then developed the Tiburon complex and other parts of Caine Woods; hence, the name Parker Estates.) The organization was incorporated in October 1981.
In January 1983, the Parker Estates Community Association changed its name to the Caine Woods Community Association.
