Hihn Introduction 7 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Publications Committee of the Santa Cruz County Historical Trust had intended to publish an annual publication entitled The Santa Cruz County Historical Review. In 1989 after working on it for more than a year, we recognized that we had unrealistic dreams - as volunteers we couldn't devote the collective time required to produce the Historical Review on a schedule. However, an examination of the material received for publication led to the recognition that it fit together into several themes. It was decided, therefore, to initiate a series of special publications, the focus of each to be one specific topic. Each number in the series would be issued when the time was ripe as Occasional Research Papers. A popular theme in Santa Cruz County, the history of a house or property and its owners or residents, is the first of this series. This first Paper is partially based on a leaflet entitled How to Research the History ofa House in Santa Cruz County, issued by the City of Santa Cruz Historic Preservation Commission in 1988. It was felt that the focus of that leaflet was quite useful for Santa Cruz City residents. Because the Santa Cruz County Historical Trust has an obligation to all residents of Santa Cruz County, it is expanding the scope of this How To book to be of use to all its residents. The editors of this work appreciate the pioneering efforts of the City of Santa Cruz Historic Preservation Commission in this regard. When you have completed the research on your house or property and have written the history of its ownership based on your findings, please share your results. Your research may help others. You are encouraged to offer a copy of the written history to at least one library or one historical society within the geographical area in which the property is located. Out-of-County locations have been added to the bibliographic citations. It is hoped that their holdings will assist the user when access to local collections is unavailable or when a local source is unknown. The emphasis in the citations, nevertheless, is to local sources. How to Research the History of a Property in Santa Cruz County 8 Acknowledgements As General Editor, I take this opportunity to acknowledge the assistance of the following persons for their vital contributions to the compilation of this work: Joyce Miller, Alverda Orlando, and Jill Perry have faithfully served as members of the Publications Committee ofthe Santa Cruz County Historical Trust: it is their advice, encouragement, research contributions, and editorial support that made this possible. Sara Bunnett, Rick Hyman and Tina Slosberg have contributed the results of their research. We hope their example will inspire others to learn more about the history of Santa Cruz County land ownership and house history. Also, it was Rick Hyman who supplied his list ofpre-1900 city directories that contain Santa Cruz entries which provided the inspiration and nucleus of the City Directory Inventory; he also provided general editorial advice. Each of them read this entire work in its preliminary form and made suggestions that make it more accurate, readable, and useful. Jean Adams Wells graciously supplied her compilation of the city directories held by the Genealogical Society of Santa Cruz County. Donna Swedberg, Reference Librarian, Santa Cruz Public Library-Central branch, supplied a list of that Branch's uncataloged telephone directories. Bob Crawford of the Boulder Creek Historical Society verified some of the holdings at its museum. Alzora Snyder, Archivist, provided citations to the holdings of the Archives of the Pajaro Valley Historical Association. Vivian Hurley, City Librarian, permitted access to the holdings ofthe Watsonville Public Library. Doni Tunheim, artist and member of the Board of Directors of the Historical Trust, shared her ideas on graphic design and recommended Jenny Heth, who, as Heth Designs, provided imagi­ native concepts and sound advice. Cynthia Mathews, member of the Board of Directors of the Historical Trust, provided the title of this work, the picture ofWillowcroft, and constant enthusiastic support. Ken Slosberg and Rick Hyman took pictures of their respective sites. Chuck Moore, Moore's Graphic Arts, improved the presentation of this work by providing expert advice on illustrations, printing, and binding. Rita Bottoms, Carol Champion, Irene Crawley Berry, and Paul Stubbs, UCSC's McHenry Library Special Collections, provided materials and citations to the collections that they so ably maintain. Don Harris and his staff at the UCSC Photo Lab provided photographic

    Notes on the 1906 Aerial Panorama of Santa Cruz by George Lawrence

    Notes on the 1906 Aerial Panorama of Santa Cruz by George Lawrence Peter Nurkse [email protected] This panorama of Santa Cruz in the summer of 1906 seems to have some insight into the spirit of the place. It is not a typical promotional or resort picture of sun and surf, as you can see from the overcast sky and the mist in the air. It shows a small community captured between the mountains and the curve of the ocean. The ocean itself takes up about half of the picture, emphasizing the natural environment of Santa Cruz. It could be called a profound picture of Santa Cruz, because it shows Santa Cruz as people who live here know it, as a smaller community, somewhat isolated and different too, with some characteristic depth and feeling. Almost like a portrait of a person, but capturing a community. In 1906 ocean front property wasn't yet crowded real estate. Most people chose to live near each other and near services and other supplies, closer to downtown. It is sobering to think that the people who lived in this landscape probably took what we see here as quite stable and settled, the way things were. Yet less than a century later, much has changed. So what we take for granted today may also look very different in another century. And changes can happen in cycles: over a century people moved into downtown, then they moved out, then they moved back again, so perhaps that cycle will just continue. Below are some comments on buildings and places in the photo.

There are no other historical landmarks or interpretive facilities that reflect the ethnic background of the majority of the community. The Bockias-Orr House owned by the Pajaro Valley Historical Association commemorates the Anglo pioneers of Watsonville, while the Agricultural History Museum at the Fairgrounds interprets the farming heritage of the valley. The acquisition of the Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe was consciously made to preserve and interpret the only remaining building of the Mexican Rancho era of California remaining in the Pajaro Valley and the finest example of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay region.

    Captain Thomas Fallon of Santa Cruz, San Jose, and San Francisco '

    CAPTAIN THOMAS FALLON OF SANTA CRUZ, SAN JOSE, AND SAN FRANCISCO ' a summary of research conducted by Joseph A. King to date, for presentation to the History Aits Advisory Committee of the City of San Jose, California, at a meeting at City Hall on Monday, August 27,1990 by Joseph A. King © copyright 1990 by Joseph A. King, 1161 Nogales St., Lafayette, California 94549. All rights reserved. No pari of this paper may be reproduced except by journalists and reviewers who might want to quote brief passages in a magazine or newspaper. 1 PREFACE Two years ago I had never heard of Captain Thomas Fallon. It was while doing research for a chapter in a book about Irish immigration to Canada and America that I first came across his name. While working on the California chapter, I found that no less than three different "Captain" Fallons had been credited by one source or another with having led a rescue mission to the unfortunate Donner Party, who had experienced terrible tragedy in the snows of the High Sierras during the winter of 1846-47. In attempting to sort out the three historical Captain Fallons, I came across California Cavalier: The Journal of Captain Thomas Fallon, an attractive book by Tom McEnery. It is a fictionalized biography, but it seemed evident that the author had done considerable historical research. There are many footnotes pointing to exact sources of information and, although the author notes that "the Journal is a work of fiction" (Captain Fallon did not actually keep a journal), he also says that it is "as firmly based on an exploration of Thomas Fallon’s life and personal letters as possible." Nevertheless, I had questions about some of the adventures involving historical events that McEnery had credited to Captain Thomas Fallon.

    4.9 Cultural Resources

    4.9 CULTURAL RESOURCES 4.9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING IN THIS SECTION: Regulatory Setting Historical Background Archaeological Resources Historical Resource Paleontological Resources Cultural resources encompass paleontological, archaeological, and historic resources. Paleontology is the study of plant and animal fossils; paleontological resources generally are more than 10,000 years old. Archaeology is the study of prehistoric human activities and cultures. Historic resources are associated with the more recent past. In California, historic resources are typically associated with the Spanish, Mexican, and American periods in the state’s history. This section summarizes the cultural resources background report prepared for the City by LSA Associates (December 2006) as part of the General Plan update process to: describe the archaeological, ethnographic, historical, paleontological background of the City’s General Plan Area; develop maps of archaeological and paleontological sensitivity; and make recommendations on proposed General Plan policies and programs. The section also summarizes the findings of a historical archaeological report prepared by LSA in August 2009, Both reports are included in Technical Appendix F-2, which is available for review at the City of 1 Santa Cruz Planning Department and is also included on the Draft EIR CD and on the online version of the Draft EIR on the City’s website at www.cityofsantacruz.com - Planning Department link. This section also draws from the City’s Historic Building Survey, Volumes I and II and “Historical Context Statement for the City of Santa Cruz” (Lehmann, October 2000) prepared for the City of Santa Cruz. 1 Located at 809 Center Street, Room 107, Santa Cruz, California during business hours: Monday through Thursday, 8 AM to 12 PM and 1to 5 PM.
