Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes



The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) is an English fraternal order, founded by Joseph Lisle, William Sinnett, and others involved with the theatre at London, England in 1822. The name was inspired by a then-popular ballad "We'll Chase the Buffalo," with an initiation rite veering into the realm of the burlesque.
