Creator: Let's Dance (December 1946)
This short article from 1946 describes a square dance club that has been meeting regularly for 17 years without missing a night, which would mean it started in 1929. The group counts 300 "rural farmers and their wives" as its membership, and is cited as "the oldest and largest square dancing organization in California."
