The true origination of the Odd Fellows is lost in the mystery of history. Some historians trace its roots back to the Medieval Trade Guilds of the 12th and 13th Centuries. Others estimated that it existed before 1650. What is clear is that there were a number of Odd Fellow groups in England in the 1700's.
The earliest surviving printed official lodge record is said to be the “Rules of Loyal Aristarchus Lodge no.9” in England dated March 12, 1748. This establishes the fact that this lodge had been operating for some time prior to this date, and its number indicates that at least eight other lodges had existed up to that time.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is thought to have officially began in the 1700's has been in existence as it currently is since 1819 in the United States and is now a worldwide fraternal organization. Our lodge was chartered through the Sovereign Grand Lodge and the Grand Jurisdiction of Illinois on October 10th, 1855 in Little Rock, Illinois. In 1944 the Yorkville Odd Fellows Lodge consolidated with Little Rock and in 1965 we built a building in Plano. In January of 2023 we moved the Lodge to Yorkville. We are a group of men and women looking to make a difference in our community and the communities we serve! We enjoy spending time as a group taking in local activities and events as well as fundraising and working with the public to help our friends and neighbors! F,L&T are the letters commonly associated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows- they stand for Friendship, Love and Truth. They serve as the cornerstones of our association
