In 1949, Region 6 initially had four areas: 6-A, 6-B, 6-C, and 6-D:
- Area 6-A was made up of lodges in North Carolina:
| Area 6-A (1949-52) |
| <did not meet 1949-51> |
Area 6-A (1953-73) | |
to Area 6-B |
| Tali Taktaki 70 (from Area I) |
| Occoneechee 104 (from Area I) |
| Croatan 117 (from Area I) |
| Wahissa 118 (from Area I) |
| Tslagi 163 (from Area I) |
| Uwharrie 208 (from Area I) |
| Nayawin̅ Ra̅R 296 (from Area I) |
| Klahican 331 (from Area I) |
|
|
| Tsali 134 (from Area I?) |
| Itibapishe Iti Hollo 188 (from Area I?) |
| 6/51: Catawba 459 |
|
Area 6-A did not meet until 1952. Area I met one last time in 1949 at Camp Uwharrie.
Polio outbreaks in the area may have prevented events from being held the next two years.

- Area 6-C was made up of lodges in Georgia. Because Areas J and Z met one last time in 1949, 6-C met for the first time in 1950, at Camp Sidney Dew:

Alapaha Area Council* (Alapaha 545), in southern Georgia, was chartered 1/1/1960. Prior to that, the area was administered by Direct Service at National Office. Another source indicates that from 1957-60, that area was absorbed into Okefenokee Area Council (i.e., 1957-60).
References: Randy Yates' Georgia and Florida OA Area and Section Fellowships
*Patrick Geary lists in his Councils of the BSA, both 1995 and 2000 ed., the name of the council simply as Alapaha. However, the council has been always been known as Alapaha Area Council. The earliest documentation that I could find is a a tax-exemption record posted on FAQ.org for the "98 Alapaha Area Council" with a ruling date of 11/1965.
- Area 6-D was made up of lodges in Florida:
Area 6-D (1949-52) <did not meet in 1949>
| Seminole 85 (from Area J; dis '51) |
| Echockotee 200 (from Area J) |
| Calusa 219 (from Area J) |

| Ala Paw Taw 265 (from Area J; dis '9/49) |
| Tipisa 326 (from Area J) |
| Timuquan 340 (from Area J) |
Area J met one last time in 1949 at Camp Flying Eagle.
*Chawtaw 229 started using the name "Pilthlako" in 1947, but didn't change it on National paperwork until 1950.

No area conferences where held in 1969. Instead, a region-wide "Planning and Training Meeting" was held at Jekyll Island, GA.
Wehadkee 273 disbanded and rechartered several times over a span of twenty years.

- The region was realigned in 1953 when Area 6-E was added to cover the southern 2/3rds of Florida. Calusa 219 disbanded 1/1/56, rechartered in 1961 as Eckale Yakanen 552 (new name AND new number). In 1959, Chiriqui 391 of the Canal Zone Council joined the area. In 1968, Echockotee 200 is moved up to Area 6-C.

Conflicting information regarding names and dates Seminole 85 and Kiondashama 85:
- Uh-To-Yeh-Hut-Tee Lodge's website: "The Boy Scouts of America approved the Order of the Arrow as part of its program in 1934 and two years later the council in the Tampa Bay area accepted the O.A. too. The lodge was chartered in 1936 under the name Kiondashama Lodge 85, and the head of Osceola was chosen as the lodge totem. It was soon discovered that the Knight and Wall Paint Company of Tampa had trademarked the Osceola head. At that time, a Pine Tree became the lodge totem. In 1938 the name of the lodge was changed to Seminole Lodge 85, and the totem was changed to the White Ibis.
In 1951 Seminole Lodge lost its charter, but just one year later they were once again active."
- Seminole Lodge's website: "In 1944 the name of the lodge was changed to Seminole Lodge 85. In 1951 Seminole Lodge lost its charter, but just one year later they were once again active."
-
National Lodge/OA National Bulletins:
- prior to 9/38: Kiondashama changed name to Seminole according to minutes of the National Meeting that year
- 1940: listed as Seminole lodge
- 1944: listed as Seminole lodge
- 1945: listed as Seminole lodge
- 1946: listed as Seminole lodge
- 1949: listed as Seminole lodge
- 1952: listed as Kiondashama lodge
- 1953: listed as Kiondashama lodge
- 1955: listed as Kiondashama lodge
- Arapaho II states that Kiondashama 85 chartered 36 May 21, disbanded 1952, rechartered in 1953 as Seminole 85. This had been confirmed by Randy Yates. However, in Georgia and Florida OA Area and Section Fellowships, he shows that the lodge kept the name Seminole from 1938 to the present.
- First Flaps in Color states that Seminole Lodge's first flap was issued circa 1958. Other sources show the name Seminole during that 1960s as well.
- Rick Obermeyer posted twice on PATCH-L:
3/25/06: "A newspaper clipping with picture of a Scout reporting his achieving Eagle was discovered in a troop scrapbook from the vicinity of Gulf Ridge Council (Tampa). The article mentions that he is in the Order of the Arrow. The clipping is dated from the late 1930's. We know that with a number of #85, Seminole Lodge got a charter way back when. We also know that it has been Seminole Lodge only since the early 1950's, when the OA was revived after a lapse. We know that the previous lodge name was Kiondashama. Beyond that, there is nothing. It isn't even known for sure exactly when Kiondashama dropped out and Seminole was picked up. We don't know if Kiondashama itself might have stopped and started up again once or twice. That newspaper clipping is, so far, the only evidence that there was any OA at all in that area in the 1930's."
6/1/09: "Then there's Kiondashama #85. We know from a newspaper clipping that the OA existed in the Tampa area in 1937, but with no confirmed lodge name as of that date. That name Kiondashama is documented both in late 1940's National OA newsletters and in the minutes from early Council of Chiefs meetings ca. 1950. There is a hiatus of a year or two, and then #85 reappears in the Council of Chiefs minutes as Seminole Lodge."
Therefore, between 1952 - 1957, I will list the lodge name as Kiondashama/Seminole 85.
