The Grand Lodge of California was established in Sacramento in 1850, a few months before California became a state. A decade later, California Freemasonry had over 5,000 members, and lodges up and down the state. Many of the leaders of early California counted themselves among its members.[4]
Its administrative offices are located on the upper floors of the SF Masonic Auditorium, also known as the Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium.
