    The American Red Cross was established in Washington, D.C. on May 21, 1881, by Clara Barton, who became the first president of the organization. Barton first organized a meeting on May 12 of that year at the home of Sen. Omar D. Conger (R, MI).[3]  Fifteen people were present at this first meeting, including Barton, Conger, and Rep. William Lawrence  (R, OH) (who became the first vice-president[4]).
