Background
In 1881, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners formed as a national trade union; San Francisco's Local 22 organized
the following year. In May 1899, 52 carpenters in Vallejo applied for a local charter and the next month held their first
meeting as Local 180 of the carpenters union. M.B. Grace was acting chairman of the organizing group and J.A. Andrews presided
at its first meeting. Later that year, Local 180 joined with the Shipwrights, Joiners & Boatbuilders Union to form the Trades
and Labor Council of Vallejo, a group now known as the Solano County Central Labor Council.
