The Johnson County Agricultural Mechanical Society was organized in 1887. During this time the society held fairs annually for 31 years near where City High is now. Then in 1929, the annual county 4-H Home Economics Shows began under the sponsorship of the Extension Service which was associated with Farm Bureau. Shows were held at various locations including sale barns, tented areas, the U of I Stadium and Field House.
In 1949, the Johnson County Agricultural Association was formed by people interested in 4-H who recognized the need for permanent facilities. These people began taking up donations and seeking out memberships. They then assumed rights to state and county aid through an affidavit of dissolution of the 1887 Society.
Memberships are open to individuals, couples, businesses or 4-H clubs interested in the purposes of corporation. Members must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of Johnson County. Each membership is limited to ONE vote. The association now has approximately 200 members.
