It is headquartered in New York City.The Urban League traces its roots to three organizations-the Committee for the Improvement of Industrial Conditions Among Negroes in New York (founded in 1906), the National League for the Protection of Colored Women (founded 1906), and the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes (founded 1910)-that merged in 1911 to form the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The new organization sought to help African Americans, especially those moving to New York City from rural locations in the South (seeGreat Migration), to find jobs and housing and generally to adjust to urban life. The model organization established in New York City was imitated in other cities where affiliates were soon established.

The Sadler Committee, established in 1832, investigated the harsh conditions faced by child laborers in factories and mines during 19th century England. Its report highlighted the extensive exploitation and abuse of child workers, leading to public outrage and increased awareness of labor issues. This ultimately contributed to the passage of the Factory Acts, which aimed to regulate working hours and improve conditions for children and young workers. The committee's findings played a pivotal role in advancing labor reform and protecting vulnerable populations in the industrial workforce.
Working conditions for factory workers in the late 19th century were a vast improvement from the conditions in the first part of the 19th century. The development of labor unions and governmental regulations helped end the horrible working conditions one hundred years earlier.

The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) was instrumental in investigating and publicizing problems associated with child labor in the early 20th century. Founded in 1904, the NCLC conducted research, gathered statistics, and published reports that highlighted the harsh conditions faced by child laborers. Their efforts, along with the work of reformers like Lewis Hine, played a crucial role in raising public awareness and ultimately led to legislative changes aimed at protecting children from exploitation in the workforce.
