Who was Paul Harris?
Rotary started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905 so business people and professionals with diverse backgrounds could form meaningful, lifelong friendships.
Our Foundation works to preserve the home of Paul Harris, and his wife, Jean Thomson Harris, who lived there together from 1912 until 1947.
