The national organization of American Association of University Women began in 1882. Their aim was to develop opportunities for higher education for women along with creation and maintenance of higher standards in those institutions. Laramie and Sheridan, in 1914 formed the earliest branches in Wyoming. Branches were added in Capser, Cheyenne, Rock Springs, Basin, Lander, Rawlins, Lovell, Platte Valley, Powell, Cody, Riverton, Saratoga, Worland and Kemmerer between 1935 and 1960. The Wyoming State division was organized in Laramie in 1938, and until that time the branches operated individually.
