In 1903 an influential group of women formed the Highland Park Ebell Club, and when the elite women's organization opened a clubhouse ten years later, more than 20,000 people attended the colorful ceremonies.

One of the first causes championed by the local women was the preservation of the land around the Arroyo Seco as a park, and it remains a park today.
