The League of Gnomes

The League was founded in 1943 in New York City and had spread to Philadelphia, Boston, Richmond and Washington, D.C. by 1945. Each city consisted of a "Grotto" comprised of anywhere between three (the minimum) and 13 (the maximum). Grottos weren't independent and answered to the authority of the New York Grotto.

By 1947 Grottos existed in Lebanon, London, Toulouse, Paris, Milan, Naples, Madrid, Bucharest and Cairo.

Grotto activity was limited during the Second World War but from 1950 to 1970 the League of Gnomes' growth remained steady.
