Ecor Rouge Chapter was founded in 1953. The name means “Red Cliff” - for a triangular-shaped bluff which lies between Daphne, the home city, and Fly Creek in Montrose, an area rich in history. The British, for instance, used the red cliffs for a hospital camp in the late 1770s.
The organizing meeting was held at the Masonic Temple in Foley, November 6, 1953, with the State Regent, Mrs. John O. Luttrell, installing the officers. Organizing members were from all over south Baldwin County.
By 1954, Ecor Rouge Chapter had made Gold Honor Roll and met all requirements for the State Standard of Excellence. By 1955, the membership had grown to 28. Citizenship manuals were placed in Junior High Schools, clothing and Christmas gifts were sent to Kate Duncan Smith DAR School, citizenship pins were awarded in the schools, DAR Magazine subscriptions were given to the schools and subscribed to by members. A picture entitled “Signing the Constitution” was given to the Fairhope School.
