History of the Llano del Rio Cooperative Colony Finding Aid to the Llano del Rio MS 1304 2 Records, 1911-1969MS 1304 The colony of Llano del Rio was formed in 1914 by Job Harriman, a socialist lawyer and politician from Los Angeles. Harriman sought to provide an economic underpinning to the ideas of socialism by organizing a cooperative colony. Harriman and a group of associates sought land for the site of the colony, settling on 10,000 acres in the Antelope Valley, north of Los Angeles. They incorporated the Llano del Rio company in California in 1914, and later reincorporated under Nevada law in 1916. Harriman placed advertisements in Western Comrade and the California Social-Democrat, soliciting individuals and families interested in participating in the venture. Membership was achieved through a $500 purchase of 2,000 shares of stock in the company, the balance to be paid in labor at a variety of jobs available at the colony. The colony grew quickly, burgeoning to a thousand members by 1917. The first year saw colonists living in tents while permanent structures were built - adobe houses and a hotel boasting electricity and indoor plumbing. The colony sought to be as self-sufficient as possible, and in addition to the cultivation of fruit trees, melons, potatoes, beans and other crops produced dairy, poultry and pork products, and had an apiary and a rabbitry. Colonists earned four dollars a day for their work, a dollar of which paid off the balance of membership, and the rest going toward living expenses. By 1917, it became clear that the choice of site had been a mistake. Though hydrological surveys indicated that sufficient water supplies existed to irrigate up to 40,000 acres, the colony soon experienced a serious shortfall in water. Small rainfall, an insufficient resevoir, and limited rights to water from Big Rock Creek forced the colony to abandon the site and seek greener pastures elsewhere. The Llano colonists boarded a chartered train, transporting themselves, machinery and livestock to Stables, Louisiana, an anbandoned mill town, renaming it Newllano. Some colonists were to remain in California, and develop the land to focus on fruit tree production. The following year however, creditors began involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against Llano, and the colony's California assets were foreclosed upon. Job Harriman returned to California, where he died in 1925. George Pickett stepped in to lead Newllano until it declared bankruptcy in 1936, falling apart completely by 1938. An attempt to recover their assets was begun in 1959 by Pickett and others. Sources Hoffman, A. (1961) A look at Llano: Experiment in Economic Socialism.

California Historical Society Quarterly. 51(2) 117-154 Scope and Content The collection is divided into two time periods. The first includes papers collected by Walter Millsap from the early years in California and Louisiana, 1911-1930. The second involves an attempt beginning in 1959 by George Pickett, Job Harriman's successor, to reaquire the assets the Newllano, LA colony lost in 1936 bankruptcy preceedings. Administrative files from the first time period include documents pertaining to incorporation and the issuance of stock, employment agreements and organizational chart, memos and official correspondence, expense reports from the move by rail from Palmdale, CA to Stables, LA. Other materials representative of daily life in Llano include meal tickets, pamphlets written by members pertaining to personal experiences and the economic and organizational hardships of the colony, newspaper clippings, and other ephemera. A survey of the Big Rock Creek Irrigation District is located in oversize map case storage.Correspondence is from members and researchers such as Clark Kerr and Upton Sinclair interested in the goings-on of the colony. The second time period, 1959-1969, consists largely of minutes and meeting papers, stockholder papers, and a proposed charter for the reorganization of the colony. Correspondence from this period includes letters from ex-members, as well as those desiring to continue with the colony. Arrangement Arranged into 4 series: The first two series includes materials dating from 1911 to 1959. Series 1: Administrative Files Series 2: Correspondence The second two series include materials from 1959 to 1969, when George T. Picket attempted to regain the assests of Llano Colony after a 1936 bankruptcy filing.

We see the role of an academic li- brary not only as a place where bibliographic materials are acquired, stored, and made ac- cessible to the intellectual community, but also as an institution that is an active partici- pant in the generation of knowledge. New faculty members represent areas of scholarship the University wishes to develop or further strengthen. They are also among the best minds in their respective fields of specialization. The Morrison Library will pro- vide an environment where the latest research trends and research questions in these areas can be presented and discussed. Editorial Board In the 1860s Mark Twain wandered the Sierra foot- hills and marvelled at the ruins of the Gold Rush. In Cali- fornia history ran so fast that the past rotted overnight, mining communities decayed into ghost towns, lonely prospectors haunted the hills, and the entire country sug- gested "a living grave." Twain took the dead landscape for evidence of the failure of America's millennial fantasies, but he confessed a certain nostalgia for the "peerless man- hood" of the Fortyniners.

This has been done in order to conform to the name of the only colony enterprise in which we are interested—the LLANO DEL RIO CO-OPERATIVE COLONY, situ- ated in Los Angeles County, California. "We are not interested in any colonization enterprise in Nevada, or any other state outside of California. Another important change has been made in that we have decided to issue our former contracts instead of the one we offered as the Nevada Colony Corporation. This makes the terms of membership much easier on the members. Instead of asking $2,500 for memberships, we have de- cided to continue on the $2,000 basis. This requires the member to pay $1,000 as the initial fee, and to work out the remaining 1,000 shares at the Colony, at the rate of only one dollar per day instead of two dollars per day. Outstanding contracts will be changed to conform to this Avhen requested. Following is the plan to which we have returned : each share-holder agrees to buy 2,000 shares of capital stock. Each pays in cash or installments, $1,000. Each pays in labor, $1,000. Each receives a daily wage of $4, from which is deducted one dollar for the stock he is working out. From the remainder comes his living expenses. "Whatever margin he may have above deduction for stock and living expenses is credited to his individual account, payable from the surplus profits in the enter- prise.

  • Vision and Practice Often Clashed at the Utopian Community of Llano Del Rio in Western Antelope Valley, California
    ANOTHER LOOK AT THE LLANO DEL RIO COLONY JOHN M. FOSTER GREENWOOD AND ASSOCIATES ALEX KIRKISH CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Vision and practice often clashed at the utopian community of Llano del Rio in western Antelope Valley, California. Professing ideals based on socialism, this community often found it difficult to resolve conflicts arising from the need for expediency and practicality. More times than not, issues dealing with community planning, industrial capacity, sanitation, and social organization were altered to fit the realities of the day. Recent archaeological investigations suggest that these compromises were often innovative and effective and were likely instrumental in the initial development of the colony. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to widen State Route 138 from 146th to 165th Street East in Los Angeles County from the existing two lanes to four 12-ft. lanes with a standard 16-ft. median and 8-ft. shoulders. The proposed highway construction project is located in the northeastern portion of Los Angeles County, an area comprising the southwestern portion of the Antelope Valley and skirting the foothills of the San Gabriel mountain range at the western limits of the Mojave Desert (Figure 1). This investigation entailed a data recovery program to mitigate potential adverse effects to the Llano del Rio Colony (CA-LAN-2677H) from the proposed SR-138 widening project. The general approaches used to mitigate these adverse effects were a variety of techniques that addressed the values that qualified the Llano Colony for the National Register of Historic Places. The objectives were to recover significant data relative to the research areas of community planning and colony industry.
