IBEW Local 131 History

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) was founded on November 28, 1891 in St. Louis, Missouri. There were ten delegates (pictured below) representing 286 members in attendance. Henry Miller was elected as the first International President, and J.T. Kelly as the first International Secretary-Treasurer.

Kalamazoo received it's charter on September 14th, 1916 and was signed by the seventh International President F.J McNulty. Kalamazoo is the fourth local to use the number 131. The first local was Columbia, South Carolina (1900-1901), the second was Traverse City, Michigan (1901-1908), the third was Twin Falls, Idaho (dates unknown).
