Welcome To The Area 4 History Project, started in 1980 by Tom Tabb and continued online to this day with the help of a huge list of contributors.

The Order of the Arrow has a rich and inspirational history in the Southwest United States, and this website continues to commemorate that Sprit of Brotherhood, Cheerfulness and Service.

From the first Area U Conference to the Conclaves of the present, these intra-lodge events have inspired Arrowmen for many generations.  It is out wish to document these events that have meant so much for so many people.
