There acatually have been several organizations that have used the name Ku Klux Klan, the first was established in 1865 as a underground movement to resist the efforts of the post war reconstruction and was eventually suppressed by the US Army due to its extreme violence; and dissolved some time around 1874.
In 1915 the Klan was re-established as a fraternal organization and had a brief period of popularity, but from the 1930s on declined in popularity until it again officially dissolved in 1944.
Since the name has been used by a variety of splinter organizations with little or no central structure or organization; it current membership is estimated to be only a few thousand people.

The KKK was very active before 1915. They began soon after the civil war to threaten and scare the exslaves. In the 1920's they held a convention in Washington DC and marched line by line down Pennsylvania Avenue. They also ran a man for president, but when it was discovered he murdered a woman he had to drop out. The main headquarters of the organization for years was in Tennessee.
