The Grand Rapids Urban League was organized in 1942 and formally incorporated in 1943. The idea of a local Urban League began during 1942 when the League, known as The Brough Community Association of Grand Rapids, was organized to provide recreational and self-development opportunities for the Grand Rapids African American community.
