A brief history of the origin of the Phycological Society of America (PSA) is presented. Since its founding, the PSA has grown from the 157 Charter Members in 1947 into a vital Society of some 1800 members today. A major catalyst in the development of the PSA was the creation in 1965 of the Journal of Phycology which now ranks among the important journals in Botany. Lists of Charter Members, Distinguished Lecturers, recipients of the Bold Award, members of the PSA Executive Committee and the major meeting sites are included.
