From the Lodge web site:
The Masons of the Carson Valley (Minden and Gardnerville, south of Carson City), which began as a community in about 1885, began to speak of forming a Masonic Lodge in the area early in 1914, and their efforts resulted in the authority to organize the lodge was granted, and a dispensation was issued on March 14, 1914, with the chartering of Carson Valley Lodge #33 taking place on the 10th of June of that year.
The first meetings were held in the Odd Fellows Hall (as were many of the early lodges in Nevada), and the Lodge flourished - nearly doubling in membership in its first year!
