About Utah-Idaho District
The Utah District was
organized March 24, 1919, at Salt Lake
City. Salt Lake City appointed Alexander
Eberhardt to act as governor. The
Executive Committee of the International
Board added Idaho to the territory of
the district on November 27, 1920. The
Utah-Idaho District came into existence
as of December 16 of the same year. By
mutual agreement, ratified by the
International Board, the panhandle of
Idaho consisting of ten counties north
of the Salmon River was added to the
Pacific Northwest District in July of
1925. The Utah-Idaho District’s first
convention was in Salt Lake City on
December 16, 1920. At that session,
Herbert Van Damn, Jr. was elected
governor at a convention in his home
city. The first club in the district was
Salt Lake City, completed October 10,
1918. The second club was Pocatello,
Idaho, on August 5, 1920, and the third
club was Boise, Idaho on August 10,
1920.
