Administrative History
The State Commission in Lunacy was created in 1889 (Chapter 283), and in 1894 the state constitution transferred responsibility for inspecting mental institutions from the State Board of Charities to the commission. In 1912 (Chapter 121), the commission was renamed the State Hospital Commission.
