About

FANHS National was founded in 1982 in Seattle WA by the late Dr. Fred Cordova and his wife, Dr. Dorothy Cordova. FANHS has over 40 chapters located throughout the United States. 

The Delano chapter was formed June 2015 and is the 33rd chapter of the Filipino American National Historical Society.

The chapter is centered on the city where the historic grape strike of 1965 was begun by Filipino workers and labor leaders, although it serves other communities in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

FANHS’s Mission
