Single Squares was formed by 16 dancers, Caller Kenneth Graves, nowdeceased, who all fought to get the Club dancing. The meeting place was CareyGrade School, S.W. 29th and Portland in the year1964. In April 1965 SingleSquares was accepted into Central District. The Club moved several times duringthe next few years but always stayed together as one of the strongest clubs inthe district.
The Club banner and badges have changed very little over the years and theyare the color of the Club 'Black and White'.

The first dance was held in Oklahoma City, Christian Renewal Center,Northwest Highway. This is now known as "Single Square Dancers USA".The convention is held each Labor Day weekend, and Single Squares has been thehost club several times.
On February 28, 1974 Single Squares became 'Incorporated'. This was a verybig decision to be made by the Club.
