Granges formed in the general area included Needy #81, Upper Molalla #82, Teasel Creek #255, Boise #256, and on February 21, 1902 Molalla Grange #310 was organized with 122 Charter Members.

At the first meeting of Molalla Grange the name was chosen. The following officers were elected:

Master/President: J. W. Thomas

The Grange hall plans were accepted and a building committee consisting of Geo. Adams, J.W. Thomas and Albert Noshberger were set to work. The proposition from the Harless Bros. was also favorably considered at $40 for the Grange Hall location.
