The club was created by eleven women on September 21, 1901 and began working to help to improve the Plaza. In 1903 the Woman's Club helped pay for the initial repairs on the old Mission and continued donating to its restoration until its completion in 1912. In 1905 enough money was raised to purchase a fountain, a horse trough, and taps for humans. In 1911 a more ornate fountain was purchased and installed on the north end of the Plaza.
The club is also the original sponsor of the Sonoma Valley Hospital Auxiliary.
