Rotary was formed in 1905 in Chicago and soon spread to other countries. By 1914, there were eight Rotary Clubs in the British Isles. Before becoming a constituted organisation, the wives of the Liverpool Rotarians in England had assisted their menfolk during World War I with various projects and had become known as Rotary Ladies. They later called themselves "The Service Club".
Many similar Clubs under various names were formed to help Rotarian husbands. However, it was the Manchester Club which in 1924 provided the name and model rules upon which the Inner Wheel movement is based. Emblem is a small wheel contained within the Rotary Wheel, hence the name Inner Wheel.
