T his chapter looks at how penurbia and civil society met. Sixty years of demographic and economic change recast borderland civil society tremendously, visible through collective markers such as religious affiliation, educational institutions, clubs, and organizations that provide quantitative documentation of change. Interpretive analysis helps to describe change, focusing strongly on clashes between vocal environmental and property interests, which significantly shaped local political frames of reference. Local opinion can be explored in order to describe dominant attitudes by charting local opinion using county government and local media sources. Elections and opinion polls help in assessing the effects of changing civil society on politics and to explain how ordinary people created pictures of their new habitats.
