Overview

The Ebell Club of Anaheim, part of the larger Ebell Club network of women's education groups, formed in 1907. The physician, Dr. Adrian Ebell(1840-1877) founded the first Ebell Club in Oakland, CA, in 1876, and gradually outlets spread over California, particularly in the south.

Building History

According to the Anaheim club's web site, "The Constitution and Bylaws were adopted January 18, 1908. The Ebell Society joined the State Federation on November 8, 1908, and on January 17, 1922, became an incorporated club, The Ebell Club of Anaheim. Anaheim's club focused first on advancement of women in intellectual culture and individual pursuits, meeting each Saturday for 'general instruction and social purposes.' Blue and white yearbooks introduced sections formed: Travel, Civics and German Conversation to recognize Anaheim's German heritage." (See Ebell Club of Anaheim.org, "The Ebell Club of Anaheim History," accessed 02/11/2021.)

A dedicated clubhouse didn't open until 01/31/1937.
