On November 4, 1919, 38 honorably discharged military veterans of the world war established the American Legion Post in Bridgton, Maine. The first order of business was to elect Post officers. The Post had no home of their own at that time so meeting were conducted at various places, but were mostly conducted in a room above Jones' Store or at the G.A.R Hall. It wasn't until the mid 30's that they finally had a home of their own to conduct meetings and other functions.
