Jan. 16, 1935|link=http://marlborofishandgame.com/images/f/fe/MFGHISTORY.jpg]] The original club was organized early in the 20<sup>th</sup> Century by a small group of conservationists, and was called the ''"Young Sportsmen's Club".'' This group tried for several years to sell its conservation programs with little success and was disbanded.<br> In the early 1920s, depletion of wildlife and water pollution became so alarming that the group reorganized. It was incorporated as the ''Marlboro Fish & Game Association'' in June of 1933.<br> ===Expansion=== The first piece of real estate was purchased in 1931 and consisted of 26 acres. The land was cleared and, later in 1933, a portable building was purchased from the Town of Northborough. In 1947, the club purchased 21 additional acres of land. Members began building the first [[Fishing|trout pond]] and a steady program of advancement and expansion has progressed ever since.<br> [[file:MFGFlyerFull.jpg|250px|link=http://marlborofishandgame.com/images/e/e6/MFGFlyerFull.jpg|1970s Brochure (Front-Inner-Back)|right]] The City of Marlboro acquired 7.6 acres of land in the 1970s for the enlargement of Millham Reservoir. The club now includes 45 acres of land, a clubhouse with function hall, a pavilion, a caretaker's home, indoor and outdoor ranges for [[Firearms|rifle, pistol]], and [[Archery|archery]], in addition to the [[Fishing|fish ponds]] which are stocked for the use of its [[Hours & Info#Membership|members]].<br> ===Affiliates=== The club maintains memberships in the Middlesex County League, Mass Skeet Shooters Association, the [http://www.nra.org/ NRA], [http://www.goal.org/ Gun Owner's Action League], Bay State Archers, and the [http://www.assabetriver.org/ Organization for the Assabet River]
