Boat clubs were formed in the USA in the 1800's. Philadelphia's Schuylkill Navy, started in 1858 and was the first rowing association and the first amateur sports organization. Amateur and collegiate oarsmen started the National Association for Amateur Oarsmen (NAAO) in 1872.
It is interesting to note that women were left out of these clubs, even though they rowed in amateur and collegiate races. In the early 1960's, the National Women's Rowing Association was formed. Finally, in 1982, the National Association for Amateur Oarsmen and the National Women's Rowing Association joined to become the coed United States Rowing Association (USRA).
It does seem ironic that women were not allowed to join these clubs yet today rowing is a sanctioned NCAA sport for women only.
