ROTARY DISTRICT 5870

Our District 5870 traces its roots back to the 1925-1926 Rotary year, when Texas, which then had approximately 100 Rotary Clubs, became the site of three Districts; one of which, District 41, encompassed the northwestern part of a territory that included Waco and Austin. Our District changed numbers several times in the ensuing years finally landing on the number 587. Then in 1991 all 491 Districts in the Rotary World were renumbered by Rotary International to include a zero as the final fourth digit, making this District 5870, one of ten districts now in the state of Texas and one of 527 Districts in the world.

Our District currently consists of 61 clubs and approximately 3,000 Rotarians. For a more detailed discussion of the history of District 5870 prepared by Kaye Boyd, the District's Historian go to: www.rotary5870.org/disthistory.html.
