Feb. 28, 1948 - The Association started with a group of Texas ranch women who wanted to add a little color and femininity to the rough-and-tumble sport of rodeo. A major move at the time, 38 women met in a hotel in San Angelo, Texas, to change the way they were being treated in the male-dominated world of rodeo. These women banded together to create the very first professional sports association created solely for women by women – the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA). May 1948 - Rules and regulations were drafted and approved, and a point system was enacted to crown world champions. GRA board members went to work, persuading rodeo committees and producers to hold women’s contests according to GRA rules. Committees were given the option of choosing which event they would hold (bronc riding, cutting or barrel racing), and most picked barrel racing. In its inaugural year, the GRA had 74 members and they held 60 events with a total payout of $29,000.
