    The
    Independent Order of Odd Fellows
    (
    IOOF
    ) is a non-political and non-sectarian international
    fraternal order
    of
    Odd Fellowship
    . It was founded in 1819 by
    Thomas Wildey
    in
    Baltimore
    ,
    Maryland
    ,
    United States
    . Evolving from the
    Order of Odd Fellows
    founded in England during the 1700s, the IOOF was originally
    chartered
    by the
    Independent Order of Oddfellows Manchester Unity
    in England but has operated as an independent organization since 1842, although it maintains an inter-fraternal relationship with the English Order.
    The order is also known as the
    Triple Link Fraternity
    , referring to the order's "Triple Links" symbol, alluding to its motto "Friendship, Love and Truth".
