Caid is the sixth SCA Kingdom, encompassing the mundane areas of Southern California, the greater Las Vegas area, and Hawaii.
Caid became a principality in June, A.S. IX (1974), and a kingdom in June, A.S. XIII (1978).
The name Caid comes from the initials of the original subgroups from which it was formed:
Barony of Calafia, Barony of the Angels, Barony of the Isles, Barony of Dreiburgen.
