This isn't a competition, but for your information, two or three of the
Adyar lodges in New Zealand had their individual centenaries in the
past few years, e.g.  Wellington lodge was founded in 1889.  The New
Zealand Section didn't come onto the scene until a few years later, but
there are many lodges around the world which sprang into life soon
after 1875, and have been in continuous existence since then.
