Artifact Overview

The Republican Party took on the moniker Grand Old Party (or G.O.P.) in the late 1800s, around the same time the elephant became its symbol. Since then, Republican politicians and their supporters have proudly placed the party's pachyderm and acronym on a variety of campaign materials.
