Our History....
After the end of World War 2, in 1945, the United States began a postwar boom of both babies and building. New housing developments outside of major cities rose almost overnight to become the suburbs of today and Plantation was no exception.
The Everglades Plantation Company and their unsuccessful attempt to establish a rice plantation allowed for the land we now live on to go through an initial development phase that lasted from 1931 to 1952 first starting as a farming cooperative but ending as the first homes built by "Plantation Homes, Inc." in 1947.
The completion of the Plantation Golf Course and Country Club in 1950 provided the community with close social facilities. The 35 ladies who met in the Plantation Homes, Inc. industrial trailer at 8 PM on February 28, 1949 named themselves "Plantation Community Club", appointed a nominating committee, By-laws committee, and times for the next meetings.
By December 1949 the club had changed its name to "Plantation Woman's Club", sponsored family activities centering around child care, elementary school events, and teen programs.

Remembering Our Club History...
50 Years of Service
"Celebrating 50 years of Service to Our Community" was the theme that guided members in the Golden Anniversary year of 1999.
By this fiftieth year our Club had donated "more than $130,000" to furnish Deicke Auditorium. An internship program was also sponsored by the Club at theGoodwin Institute for Cancer Research.
Kids in Distress, Special Olympics, Canine Companions and a host of other recipients are noted in the 1999 anniversary brochure along with our police and fire departments.
Gold colored fifty-year decals surround articles on waterway cleanup projects, scams and telemarketing, animal, child and elder abuse in the scrapbook along with the Woman of the Year "Golden Angels" gold-toned program brochure.
"Preparing the Way for the Future" set the theme for the next twenty-five years in the 1999 yearbook as we now look forward to our Diamond Anniversary year beginning in February 2024 when our Club reaches its 75th birthday.
