St.George’s Lodge #440 Since 1829
St.George’s 440 History
St.George’s Lodge was founded in 1829
St. Georges #440
continued from 1829 to the 1850’s when it went dark for a few
years.During the 1850’s some members of the original St. Georges #440
lodge formed St. Georges #10 (lodge number was not assigned until the
creation of the GRQ in 1869). The new lodge also “claimed” being the
original lodge.
In the meantime St. Georges #440 was restarted
and continues to the present time.
The St. Georges #440 lodge charter
was never surrendered, which we have to this day, and is the main basis
for St. Georges #440 being the “original” lodge of 1829.
