The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes is a social and benevolent
fraternal organisation open to men. Its aim is to aid members in need and their families, and the families of deceased members as well as to support other
charitable groups.The first lodge was founded in
London in
1822. It was founded by staff from the
Theatre Royal who had been denied membership of another Order known as the City of Lushington. Previously everyone working in the theatre was allowed access to the latter Order. However, at some point in the early
19th century membership was restricted so that only people who actually appeared on stage could become members, thus excluding backstage staff. It is unknown why they chose the name of the Order.
