History of Rhode Island Red Club of America
The Rhode Island Red Club of America was founded on a cold blizzard of a day in
a Coffee Tavern in Fall River, Mass. It was in December l898 that a group of
interested breeders of this your new breed sat down to draft out this new
organization. Some of these new promoters were Dr. Aldrich, Lester Tompkins,
I.W. Bean, Dan Shove who became the first Club President, and Col.
Over the l00 year history this special breed club reached upwards to 5000 club
members during the l920’s under then club secretary Wid Card. The circulation of
the Rhode Island Red Journal published in Waverly, Iowa, reached 50,000 copies
each month. The Red Club had one National Meet in the l920’s in Columbia, South
Carolina that had over 750 Large Fowl entered. The quarterly news letter " The
Rhode Island Red Chronicle" has been providing members with interesting
articles, show reports and general information pertaining to its membership.
The Red Club sponsors a State, District and National Meet providing awards for
Best and Reserve Best of Breed for both Large Fowl and Bantams.
There has been new life injected in the Rhode Island Red Club this past year
with fresh new articles on breeding, breed type, color and on bantams. These
articles are available on this web site for your reading. This demonstrates a
commitment from the membership that will be even more noticeable in new
