The Wa-Na Woman’s Club was established in 1945 to accommodate women in Walton who could not attend the Walton Woman’s Literary Club meetings. The Wa-Na club met at night, which was more convenient for young women, working women, and any other prospective members who were busy during the day, according to the club history written by Mrs. Clayton Jones, one of the charter members. The name “Wa-Na” came from the first two letters of Walton and the last two letters of Verona.

The Walton Woman's Literary Club was established in 1923. Its goal was to intellectually stimulate its members and benefit its community. In 1974, the club dropped “Literary” from its title.

There was some overlap in membership with the Wa-Na Club (some women being officers in both), and in some cases, they held joint events or invited the Wa-Na to participate in theirs.
