The Way Home: The History of the AOH

The Ancient Order of Hibernians is America’s oldest Irish Catholic Fraternal Organization founded concurrently in the goal-mining region of Pennsylvania and New York City in May 1836. The Order traces its roots back to a series of similar societies that existed in Ireland for more than 300 years. Today, the AOH exists in America, Canada, Ireland, England, Wales, and Scotland but while the organizations share a common thread, the American AOH is a separate and much larger organization.
