The Orange Order first spread to Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through British and Irish settlers, soldiers, and missionaries. Early lodges were established in several colonies, including Nigeria and South Africa, but the most enduring presence developed in Ghana and Togo, where national Grand Lodges continue to operate today.
