The Unanimity Lodge No. 418 was granted its charter and warrant of constitution on April 29, 1977, by the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina.
Its first officers were William "Pat" Hodges, Worshipful Master; Joe Pitts Sr., Senior Warden; and Joe Pitts Jr., Junior Warden.
Most of the original members were islanders who had belonged to Hardeeville Lodge No. 348.
They met on the second floor of a commercial building on Mathews Drive before moving the meetings to the St. Andrew By-the-Sea United Methodist Church in 1981. It continues to meet there on the second Monday of each month.
Unanimity Lodge No. 418 adopted this name because there was an earlier Unanimity Lodge dating to the early 1800s. That lodge, on what is now William Hilton Parkway at mile marker 7 near the old Zion Chapel of Ease, followed the Ancient York Masonic ritual.
In the history of Unanimity Lodge No. 418, Robert Wyatt, and Elbert C. Jackson Jr. served as worshipful master four times, Wolfgang Saenger, James Barron and John RC. Bowen served three times; James K. Glick and George Chewning, each served twice.
Other past masters, in order of service following William Hodges, were Joe Pitts Sr., Joe Pitts Jr., Gary Lee, Lee Sorenson, Jack Best Jr., James Kilgore Jr., Ralph Lynes, Michael Lynes, Bertus Matthews Jr., Carlisle Evans, Kenneth Barrett, Robert Kennedy, David Clisham, Herschel Pittenger, Robert Eberly Jr., William Creighton, Otto Haversat, Michael Graham, Nicholas Mihelic, Eric Bell, Bobby Jarrell, James Barron, Edward K. Boring. Christopher E. Golla, Justin J. Cunningham, Benton E. Waller
