The OKR was founded on December 30, 1911 by Colonel Antonio C. Torres when a group of nine men from different walks of life, united for the purpose of commemorating in a fitting manner, the execution and martyrdom of our foremost national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.
Thereafter, year after year, the same group would gather to celebrate the birth and commemorate the death of Dr. Jose Rizal. During Rizal Day celebrations, this group would be seen conspicuosly on horse back, reminiscent of the knights of old known for their chivalry and exemplary life.
To provide a continuing entity and to encourage others to join them, these admires of Dr. Rizal on November 16, 1916, organized a private non-stock corporation and named it the "Orden de Caballeros de Rizal."
The incorporators of the corporation were Antonio C. Torres, Juan Flameno, Martin P. de Veyra, Jose A. del Barrio and Jose S. Galvez.
The Order was granted a legislative charter as a civic and patriotic organization on 14 June 1951 by Republic Act 646.
