On Monday, April 14, 1913 (the first business day after Thomas Jefferson's birthday), a group of 13 descendants of Thomas Jefferson met in Charlottesville, Virginia for the first meeting of ‘’The Monticello Graveyard Association.’’ Officers were elected, and a constitution and bylaws were adopted. At the Annual Meeting in 1919 the membership voted to drop the word "Graveyard" from the title of The Monticello Association.

While there have been some changes in The Monticello Association during the past 100 years, the scope and purposes of The Monticello Association have remained the same, as stated in Article II of its Constitution.
