The word ‘Fforest’ means ‘Moorland’, and the Lodge took its name from Cefn Fforest Farm in Treharris , and this is where a petitioning order was made to the Grand Master for the formation of a new Lodge to be known as Fforest .
On 29th March 1895, a number of Brethren met at the Commercial Hotel for the purpose of discussing the formation of a new Lodge.
The next meeting was held at the Navigation Hotel, Treharris, on 5th April 1895, where it was unanimously agreed that W Bro Colonel David R Lewis be designated the first Worshipful Master.
He, however, declined the honour in favour of W Bro G F Harris
