Biographical / Historical
The Native Daughters of the Golden West is a fraternal and patriotic organization founded on the principles of Love of Home,
Devotion to the Flag, Veneration of the Pioneers, and Faith in the Existence of God. The historic mining city of Jackson,
Amador County, was the birthplace of the Order of Native Daughters of the Golden West.
Pursuant to a call issued by Lilly O. Reichling, about twenty young women met in Pioneer Hall on September 11, 1886. Miss
Reichling explained that the object of the meeting was to form an Order of California-born women to be known as the Native
Daughters of the Golden West. The Order was organized in Pioneer Hall, at a meeting held on September 25, 1886. Chosen for
the first Parlor of the Order was the distinctive name of Ursula (meaning "The Bear".)
