As early as 1922 some enthusiastic members of Hawke's Bay freemasonry met in Napier with the object of providing ways of disseminating Masonic knowledge to the lodges in the province. In that year three lodges opened in the Gisborne area. Fifteen lodges were already operating from Wairoa to Woodville and two more would open in Hastings and Napier within two years.
