The first year that Mardi Gras was celebrated on a grand scale in Galveston was 1871 with the emergence of two rival Mardi Gras societies, or "Krewes" called the Knights of Momus (known only by the initials "K.O.M.") and the Knights of Myth, both of which devised night parades, masked balls, exquisite costumes and elaborate invitations.
The Knights of Momus ("KOM") were a Mardi Gras society in Galveston, Texas, founded in 1871. [6] The original Knights of Momus went defunct around the time of World War II.
