The first Kiwanis club was organized in Detroit, Michigan, in 1915.  Kiwanis became international with the organization of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario, in 1916.  Kiwanis limited its membership to the United States and Canada until 1962, when worldwide expansion was approved.  Since then, Kiwanis has spread to all the inhabited continents of the globe.
