Oklahoma Districts and Chapters

The Oklahoma Society began in 1894 as both Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory. For the first several years, Oklahoma had a State Regent in each of the territories. Statehood came on November 16, 1907. In April 1908, Mrs. Ira L. Reeves of Muskogee was elected State Regent of Oklahoma (Oklahoma now being one state and not two separate territories) by the only Oklahoma delegate at Continental Congress and that body confirmed her. Mrs. Robert P. Carpenter, who was Regent of the old Oklahoma Territory, was elected as Vice Regent. |

Both groups met for the first State Conference in Muskogee in March 1909. The Constitution and Bylaws for the state, prepared by the Oklahoma City Chapter, were presented and adopted at this meeting. We now have 41 active DAR chapters with nearly 3,000 members across this great state. |

Old State Yearbooks will reveal that DAR work of the past is still DAR work of today. Committee names have changed to meet the demands of changing times, but the objectives of the National Society have demanded that our interests as DAR members carry on today just as we did in the beginning. The ideals and concerns of the early Daughters are still evident today. Our members continue to contribute to the upkeep of our beloved Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. And where we were once deeply involved in war work, this interest now translates into work with veterans, concerns with National Defense, the preservation of our history, and good citizenship of our students.
