AOH Division 1

 The Ancient Order of Hibernians is America’s oldest Irish Catholic Fraternal Organization founded concurrently in the coal-mining region of Pennsylvania and New York City in May,1836. The Order can trace 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, however, while the organizations share a common thread, the American AOH is a separate and much larger organization. 

Based on the Southern tip of Manhattan,  Division 1 takes its name from Thomas MacRory Rogers.   a native of Omagh, County Tyrone, in modern day occupied Ireland . He immigrated to the USA as a young man approx. 1912 and married Teresa MacGlade, a fellow immigrant and native of Dunganamohr, outside Dungannon, County Tyrone . 

Div 1 is proud to be located in Manhattans financial district in the shadowed of the Freedom Tower.
