On January 28, 1924, at St. Michaels Church in Overlea, Maryland, the elections of the council first officers was held. The following February 8, 1924, the officers were installed and a First Degree was conferred on a class of thirty-four candidates. In attendance were over 100 men.  Our first Grand Knight was Nicholas J. Herbert, Sr. Since that time we have had 82 Grand Knights and the Council home has been moved twice and now at its permanent location on Klosterman Avenue in Perry Hall, Maryland.
