Shire History

The Shire of Mountain Freehold has a long and rich history. We are the oldest shire in the Kingdom (because all of the Shires that were founded before us have either ceased to exist, or have become Baronies.)

Here’s a captioned video of an online chat with some of the earliest members of Mountain Freehold, discussing our shire’s history up to about 1990.

Here is our lengthy Year-by-Year Chronicle, starting in the late 1970’s.

And here’s a much shorter version of our shire’s history.

We also have an Order of Precedence, which lists the ranks and awards of our shire members, past and present.

And here you can find notes from our previous Moots (business meetings).
