Background
The League of Women Voters of the Bay Area (LWVBA) was formally established in California's San Francisco Bay Area in 1961. Organization of the LWVBA began in 1957 when the League of Women Voters Alameda County Council received permission from the League of Women Voters of California to call a meeting of several local Bay Area leagues to consider regional problems and possibly a regional organization. Four years later, the LWVBA was formally established to address regional concerns in the Bay Area.
