The following 1list shows
the first club in each of Rotary's geographic regions and countries
based on current boundaries. The date following club name is the
admission (charter) date into Rotary. Another club might have been
first in a particular region, but due to boundary changes it is no
longer in that geographic region. Also, when some of these clubs
were admitted, they were not the first club in a geographic region,
but became so when their portion gained independence. [ ] indicates
the original name of the geographic region and/or city on the
charter. Club names are the names of the current clubs as some have
changed over time.
If your club's history is missing, please send
your history today from our "Comment" page www.historycomment.org Please
include the link to your website history page and a contact for
confirmation. Also see the RI Archives Terminated
Clubs file.

1 Based
on a list originally compiled by Cyndi
Beck of
the Rotary International Archives on 14 November 2002.
2 Friendship
Trees, planted by Paul & Jean Harris during the 30's. They are shown,
by continent, at friendshiptrees.org
3 This
club was not the first club of Belgium but is recorded as a lower
numbered club and thus first in the archives
4 Because
of boundary changes resulting mostly from the second world war, some
clubs appear in the various Balkan and Baltic lists under the name
of their country at the time of inauguration, though subsequently
they appear in a different country. One example is Cieszyn Zachodni
founded in Poland in1932 but admitted as Cesky Tesin in
Czechoslovakia, reverting to Cieszyn Zachodni, in Poland in May
1939. There are some cases of Rotary Clubs being labelled in more
than one language. Thus, Timisoara in Romania is also shown in the
RI files as Temesvar. The 'termination'
list includes several such examples. |
