About Us
Club History
The Italian American Citizens Club of Oyster Bay was founded in 1906 when a group of Italian Americans in the Oyster Bay area met with former president Theodore Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill to ask for his permission to start the club. After permission was granted, the club was founded and given its first official name of The Italian American Democratic Club of Oyster Bay. That name would remain until 1941 when the official club name was changed to the Italian American Citizens Club of Oyster Bay.
Our club was originally located on Audrey Avenue eventually moving to West Main street until 1948 when the club moved to our current location at 48 Summit street.
Our charter is to promote Italian traditions and culture in America and create a family friendly environment that is host to a variety of traditional social and educational events.
In Memoriam
In honor of our deceased members.
For those members who have passed on and left us this incredible legacy, we will be forever grateful. We pray that the future generations of Italian Americans will continue the traditions of our beloved club.
