The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was founded nationally in 1874 to further the message of abstinence from alcohol.

Whatcom County-based chapters of the WCTU date back as early as 1883, and existed in the towns of Sehome, Fairhaven, Lynden, Sumas, and Bellingham before consolidating into one single Whatcom County Chapter. The Whatcom County Chapter focused on resisting the sale and use of alcohol (and, to a lesser extent, tobacco) through protests and educational activities.

Whatcom county chapters of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union date back to 1883. At various times since then, there have been simultaneous chapters in Sehome, Fairhaven, Lynden, Sumas, Bellingham, and possibly elsewhere. The consolidated Whatcom County chapter is documented in this collection from 1932 (right before the repeal of prohibition) to 1958. During this period the chapter organized resistance to the sale and use of alcohol (and, to a lesser extent, tobacco) through protest and education. The chapter also promoted other Christian causes, such as their effort to have the Lord’s prayer recited in public schools.

As a national organization, the WCTU was formed in 1874 to spread the message of complete abstinence from alcohol. Their web site, www.wctu.org (2006) claims that they are the oldest continuing non-sectarian women’s organization in the world.
