  • CHAPTER M MONROVIA's DIVERSE BEGINNINGS Although
    c 45 CHAPTER m MONROVIA'S DIVERSE BEGINNINGS Although encountering school segregation was a new experience for AImera Romney when she came to Huntington School in 1946, it was not new to Monrovia-- or to most other Southern California communities. Monrovia's unwritten history of racial separation and discrimination was in fact typical of both the era and of California as a whole. 1 While the particulars of its educational history were distinctive, Monrovia reflected Southern California's continuing struggle to corne to terms with an enormously diverse school population. Monrovia, however, unlike many of its newer neighboring communities. included persons of color from its earliest years. Monrovia's Origins The townsite of Monrovia lies approximately twenty miles east and slightly north of downtown Los Angeles, in the northeast quadrant of Los Angeles County. 1 Irving G. Hendrick, The Education of Non-Whites in California. 1949-1970 (San Francisco: R & E Associates, 1977), 98; Charles Wollenberg, All Deliberate Soeed: Segregation and Exclusion in California Schools. 1855-1915 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1976), chap. 7. 46 The land was originally part of the holdings of the San Gabriel Mission, established by Spanish Franciscan fathers in 1771. The northeastern part of the mission valley was a "vast oak-covered area known since early days as Santa Anita," which sloped on its northern boundaries up into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.2 The lands that would be incorporated as Monrovia a half-century later came into the United States in 1848 as parts of two ranchos, the Santa Anita and the Azusa de Duarte.

GRAVES PREFACE Time flies so swiftly, that I can hardly realize so many years have elapsed since I, a child five years of age, passed through the Golden Gate, to become a resident of California. I have always enjoyed reading of the experiences of California pioneers, who came here either before or after I did. The thought came to me, that possibly other people would enjoy an account of the experiences of my seventy years in the State, during which I participated in the occurrences of a very interesting period of the State's development.

    Caminos _____ Newsletter of the Arcadia Historical Society President’s Message: Out and About in the Community Fall 2018 Ed Andersen Presents: “Lucky” Baldwin: The Man Who Was Never Licked On Saturday morning, September 29th, Ed Andersen, Arcadia Historical Society’s Community Relations, presented little known facts about Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin, the founder of the City of Arcadia, in his presentation, “Lucky” Baldwin: The Man Who Was Never Licked. The event held for Saturday Morning Coffee at the Floretta K. Lauber Education Center drew a crowd of over 60 attendees, including Steve Baker, Monrovia’s City Historian, and Eugene Moy with the Historical Society So Cal Chinese. One surprise was a clip from the TV show, Death Valley Days, showing a reenactment of how “Lucky” Baldwin was able to obtain the Santa Anita Rancho and begin his legacy that is with us today. ____________________________________________________________ Annual Moon Festival The Arcadia Historical Society had the privilege of participating in the Annual Moon Festival celebration sponsored by the City of Arcadia and the Arcadia Chinese Association at City Hall Lawn on Saturday evening, September 29th. AHS provided the craft supplies, with the Arcadia Civic Youth Council assisting children who created peacock fans and bunny fans. At one point, there were twelve children, along with a parent or two, gathered around the table. AHS and ACYC members could barely keep up with the demand. However, every child (and a parent or two) walked away with his or her own masterpiece, like the Garrido family on the right. ___________________________________________________________ Downtown Halloween Festival This event was held on Saturday, October 29th from 11:00 AM until 6:00 PM.

  • WELCOME to the ARBORETUM Self-Guided Walking Tour
    WELCOME TO THE ARBORETUM Self-Guided Walking Tour Occupying the heart of the historic Rancho Santa Anita, The Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden is a unique 127 acre historical museum and botanic garden located in the city of Arcadia. Home to plant collections from all over the world, including many rare and endangered species, the Arboretum also houses outdoor historical landmarks representative of the major phases of California history. The Arboretum is also an animal sanctuary. In addition to The Arboretum’s famous peafowl, visitors will see species of resident and migratory birds, aquatic creatures, as well as numerous species of small reptiles and mammals. The Arboretum peafowl roaming the grounds are descendants of two pairs imported by “Lucky” Baldwin from India in the 1880’s and are considered wild animals. Males (peacocks) have a bright blue neck, but only during the mating season do they display their long trains. They lose their tail feather at the end of the summer and grow them back every spring, much like deer lose their antlers and regrow them annually. Both peacocks and the brown-colored peahens (females) can fly short distances, often roosting high in trees at night. Please stay at least 10-15 feet away from peafowl for your safety as they are wild animals. Please do not touch, chase, or feed any of the animals you see in the garden. When you feed Arboretum animals you are giving them the wildlife equivalent of junk food. Rather than eating a variety of natural foods, they become dependant on processed foods that are not a part of their natural diet.

In honor of this anniversary, we’re sharing this 1941 map of Arcadia from our collection. In the early 1940s, the land that is now the Los Ange- les County Arboretum & Botanic Garden was owned by Harry Chandler (publisher of the LA Times) who bought it from Anita Baldwin in 1936. By 1947, at the urging of the Arboretum Committee of the Southern California Horticultural Institute, the State of California and County of Los Angeles jointly purchased 111 acres from Chandler to create an arboretum around Lucky Baldwin's home-site.

I propose a concept, “critical Latina/o foodways,” or CLF, as an approach for recovering Latina/o social histories from traditional archives by centering foodways in archival investigations. In using the CLF approach, I am able to show how the labor and business of foods shaped placemaking practices of Latina/os in the urban outskirts of Los Angeles from 1910 to 1945. Furthermore, I show how Latino farmer-entrepreneurs shaped the civic identity and formation of Baldwin Park, a city located in the Central SGV. ii The thesis of Natalie Santizo is approved.
