Originally formed in 1714 to commemorate the actions of the 13 Apprentice Boys that shut the gates and is the oldest of the Parent Clubs.
The Club was reformed by Benjamin J. Darcus and was known as The Apprentice Boys, in 1814. A few years later two new Clubs were formed, but no official name was given to them
In 1935 The Apprentice Boys of Derry Club is described as the oldest of the present organisation. The earliest record of initiation is shown as 1883, unfortunately however all records prior to this were inadvertently destroyed by a former secretary. The oldest branch is Lurgan and the youngest Desertmartin branch.
