Brockton Chapter No. 67
Instituted October 28, 1903
Constituted May 5, 1904
| CONSOLIDATED CHAPTER | INSTITUTED | DATE CONSOLIDATED |
| Herbert F. French No. 172 | March 27, 1921 | September 9, 2002 |
| Easton Chapter No. 164 | January 3, 1920 | April 12, 2004 |
The Chapter took its name in honor of its home city, which made history as one of the leading shoe manufacturing cities in the country. From 1821 - 1874 the city was know as North Bridgewater. On May 6, 1874 the name was changed to Brockton. The story goes that the name was suggested by Ira Copeland, a resident of the town, who some years before had heard the name called by a railway conductor as he rode on route to Detroit. Brockton is in the province of Ontario, now a par of Toronto and was named after Sir Issac Brock, a soldier and Lieutenant Governor of Canada.
