Odd Fellows or
Oddfellows, also
Odd Fellowship or
Oddfellowship, is a
fraternity consisting of
lodges earliest documented in 1745 or 1730 in London, United Kingdom. The first,
Loyal Aristarcus Lodge No. 9, connotes earlier ones in the 18th century. Notwithstanding, convivial meetings were held "in much revelry and, often as not, the calling of the watch to restore order." Names of several British pubs still today suggest past Odd Fellows affiliations.
