In the Middle Ages, the term “freemason” was awarded to highly skilled stonemasons who were hired as free agents to build castles and cathedrals in England and Scotland. Because of the inherent danger of their work, stonemasons formed local organizations, called lodges, to take care of sick and injured members as well as the widows and orphans of those who were killed on the job. In 1718, English

Freemasonry spread to France and Spain, and after 1729, to India, Italy, Poland and Sweden. Freemasonry spread to the other parts of Europe and eventually made its way to the American colonies.

Freemasonry has been an integral part of California for more than 150 years. During the Gold Rush of 1849, thousands of settlers came to California in search of fortune. Many of these men had been Masons back East and brought with them the tradition of Freemasonry. Not surprisingly, some of California’s first Masonic Lodges were established in the mining towns of the Gold Country. In 1850-the same year California became a state-the Grand Lodge of California was established in Sacramento. Within 10 years, the number of Masonic Lodges had grown from 11 to 130, while membership soared from 258 to more than 5,000. Over the years, the Masons have played a key role in shaping the history of California. To date, 19 California governors have been Masons, and at least four California Masons have been elected to the U.S. Today, the Grand Lodge of California has almost 90,000 members in about 400 Lodges located throughout the state, making it one of the largest Grand Lodges in the world.
