The Clinch Bend Chapter was organized on December 13, 1945, and was confirmed by the National Board of Management on May 15, 1946, under the name Samuel Whitney, ancestor of the organizing regent Mrs. Lawrence George Henry. None of the eighteen charter members is now a member. On January 31, 1953, with the need for wartime security over, the name was changed to Clinch Bend Chapter for local identity. A large bend in the Clinch River provides protection on three sides of Oak Ridge and was a key factor in selecting the site for the atomic installations in World War II.
