The History of Zonta Zonta International was founded in Buffalo, New York, in 1919, by Marian deForest. In 1932, Zonta International Headquarters were moved from Buffalo, NY, to Chicago, IL. In 1986, Zonta International purchased the building at 557 West Randolph in Chicago’s downtown West Loop neighborhood that now houses Zonta’s Headquarters. This building is one of only two structures to have survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871! The club’s name “Zonta” means “honest and trustworthy” and is derived from the Lakota (Teton Dakota), a language of the Native- American Sioux people. The name was adopted in 1919 to symbolize the combined qualities of honesty, trust, inspiration, and the ability to work together for world service and understanding. The Zonta Club of Midland was founded in 1947 and in recent years has ranked, with close to 90 members, among the largest 10 Zonta Clubs in the world. The Zonta Club of Midland is a local chapter of Zonta International, conducting projects and activities to advance the status of women. Our Midland Club was chartered in 1947, and is a strong and vital part of our community.			Interested in Joining the Zonta Club of Midland? Click here to find out how.
