In 17th century England, where Odd Fellowship began, it was “odd” to find a group of members organized for the sole purpose of giving to those in need and of pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind. Those who belonged to such an organization were called “odd fellows”.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows as we know it today began in Baltimore, Maryland, where five members of the Order from England founded Washington Lodge No. 1 on April 26, 1819. The first Noble Grand was one of these Brothers, Thomas Wildey, considered the founder of the Odd Fellowship in North America. A charter was received from Duke of York Lodge in Preston, England, in 1820, a year and a half after its self-institution.
