Northern States Cooperative Guilds and Clubs was organized in 1930 in Superior, Wisconsin as the Northern States Women's Cooperative Guild. The Guild was a federation of local women's cooperative groups in the Central Cooperative Wholesale area and functioned as an auxiliary to it. It was the first organization of its kind in the United States. It organized summer youth camps, promoted the cooperative movement with fair booths and other projects, and served as a contact between homemakers and the cooperative's commodity program. In the early 1930's up to 70 guilds were affiliated with the organization, but in the 1940's membership began to decline. The organization was disbanded in 1969.
