Established 1806
One of the earliest Prince Hall Grand Lodges, New York developed a strong presence in the Northeast and played a crucial role in the early expansion of Prince Hall Masonry.
New York's Grand Lodge was established in the early expansion period following Prince Hall's death. The jurisdiction became a major center of Prince Hall Masonry in the Northeast, with multiple lodges spreading throughout the state. New York Masons were instrumental in supporting the growth of Prince Hall Masonry and maintaining standards across expanding jurisdictions.
The Grand Lodge of New York operates as part of the greater Prince Hall Masonic structure, maintaining connections with Grand Lodges across the United States and internationally. As a Prince Hall jurisdiction, it upholds the principles established by Prince Hall and his successors.
Like all Prince Hall Grand Lodges, this jurisdiction is committed to community service, charitable work, education, and supporting the intellectual and moral development of its members and the communities they serve.
