Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends.

Our Lodge began as a small, social group of twenty-five men, who on June 20,1907, met in the banquet hall of the new Woodward Masonic Temple and discussed the matter of forming a new Lodge in the Euclid-East 105th area (then Doan's Corners) on the East side of Cleveland. It was decided that the new Lodge should have its home in the Woodward Masonic Temple and the name, selected because of its Masonic implication and perhaps because of the close proximity of the world famous "most beautiful avenue in the world", was to be "EUCLID."
On that foundation was the beginning of an organization that was to exemplify and typify all the principles for patriotism, brotherly love, relief, fortitude, tolerance, understanding and civil and religious liberty; a lodge which was to become known throughout Ohio and Canada for its fraternal association and loyal and devoted support and cooperation in all local, state and national Masonic projects.
On October 10, 1907, Most Worshipful Brother Horace A. Irvin, Grand Master of Masons in Ohio, received the petition for the forming of a new lodge in Cleveland to be named Euclid. It is of interest to note that another founding group from the Cleveland area had selected the name "Euclid" for a new lodge, but "on account of defective papers" the dispensation was refused at the Grand Lodge session of 1865.
At the Grand Lodge Communication in Canton, Ohio on October 22,1907, a dispensation was granted for Euclid Lodge U.D. The newly elected and installed Grand Master was Most Worshipful Brother George D. Copeland, a Past Master of Marion Lodge No. 70 of Marion, Ohio. It is significant to note that the fraternal ties of brotherly love and affection have bound Marion and Euclid in close association ever since. On November 26,1907, the first special meeting of Euclid Lodge U.D. was held in the Woodward Masonic Temple. Most Worshipful Brother Copeland journeyed from Marion and conferred the first Entered Apprentice Degree on the candidate, Lewis W. Lafferty. Amid the ceremonies of the Grand Lodge Centennial celebration in the Music Hall in the City of Cincinnati, Euclid Lodge U.D. received its charter on October 21,1908, and became Euclid Lodge 599; the first lodge to be chartered in the Cleveland area in some thirty-three years. Most Worshipful Brother Charles S. Hoskinson, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, regularly constituted and consecrated Euclid Lodge on October 30,1908,and served as installing officer, assisted by Most Worshipful Brother Copeland acting as Deputy Grand Master, in the public installation of its officers. On September 8, 1921, Euclid Lodge moved to its second home; meeting in the new Masonic Temple at Euclid 3615 Avenue. It was during this period, 1922, that Euclid sponsored a new lodge, which fittingly and properly was named "Pythagoras." Euclid returned to the place of its founding, Woodward Masonic Temple, on December 6, 1934. Today the Lodge meets on the second and fourth Thursdays at the Euclid Masonic Temple at 3615 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland Ohio.
