Formation of the Moore Republican Women's club was initiated during the North Carolina Republican State Convention, Greensboro in May,1980. At that time the President and Board of the North Carolina Federation of Republican Women (NCFRW) pledged their support.

Planning and organizational sessions were held during the following summer with submission to the National Federation for an application to become an official club. On February 6, 1981, a Charter was issused by National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) to Moore County Republican Women's Club, with Anne Frye, the Charter President, and a list of 100 Republican Women to become an official club.

On March 23, 1981, the Charter was presented to the Executive Board of NCFRW, and the 134 Charter Members became officially affiliated with the North Carolina Federation of Republican Women.

At the 1988 NCFRW convention in Fayetteville, MRW received an award for having enrolled the most new members for the year. The club grew steadily thereafter, and by 2001, Moore Republican Women was the largest club in North Carolina. At the present time, MRW continue to lead the state in membership.

Our name has been changed twice. In 1989, "County" was deleted, and in 1999, "Club" was deleted from the title. Since that time, the name remains Moore Republican Women.

It is the continuing goal of MRW to lead North Carolina in both membership and influence, and to be a positive factor to both the national and state GOP.
