Brief History of Southeastern Branch, Entomological Society of America

1983 
The Southeastern Branch had its beginning with a group of entomologists concerned with depredation caused by the boll weevil. These entomologists met on 2 August 1904, elected C. E. Chambliss of South Carolina as chairman, and organized the Association of Official Entomologists of the Cotton Belt, later known as Association of Cotton States Entomologists. The group was active during the ensuing years, and was affiliated with the American Association of Economic Entomologists as the Cotton States Branch on 31 December 1925. The name was changed to Southeastern Branch in 1959. An early history of the Cotton States Branch was written by Snapp (1941),and information on growth and changes in the Southeastern Branch was presented at the 43rd meeting of the Branch by Beckham (1969).
