Biographical / Historical Frederick Augustus Hihn (originally Hühn) was an early settler to Santa Cruz County and a prominent businessman in the development of the City of Santa Cruz, from his arrival to the area in 1851 to his death in 1913. He owned a range of businesses, including real estate, water, lumber, and railroad companies. He also served in local Santa Cruz and state politics. Hihn was born in Holzminden, Germany, on August 16th, 1829, to a family with nine children. His father was a merchant, and while in Germany, Hihn was educated in mercantilism and business. He immigrated to California from Germany with two brothers for the Gold Rush on the brig Reform in 1849. After a short time in gold mining, Hihn returned to Sacramento and opened a candy factory and store. However, that winter, the Sacramento River flooded and destroyed his factory and store. In 1851 Hihn moved to San Francisco and opened a small drugstore. However, the Great Fire of May 1851 burned most of his stock and possessions, and what he managed to recoup was burned in the June 1851 fire. As a result he came to Santa Cruz with a friend in October 1851, thinking the risk of fire would be lower, and set up a mercantile shop on the corner of present-day Front Street and Pacific Street. In 1853 Hihn and Therese Paggen married, and they had six children together. Hihn was heavily involved in real estate development of Santa Cruz and the surrounding areas, buying large tracts of land and developing them to be sold in smaller parcels. He also founded the town of Capitola, and directed the construction of many of Santa Cruz's current streets. Other business enterprises included railroad construction and operation, the Guide to the Frederick A. Hihn MS.201 2 Records MS.201 development of a wagon road across the Santa Cruz mountains. and the construction of the cliff road from Santa Cruz to Capitola. Hihn was also involved in early water infrastructure for Santa Cruz and the surrounding towns, banking, and the lumber industry, owning two sawmills near Aptos and Laurel, California. Hihn was a school trustee of Santa Cruz, served on the State Assembly for one term in 1869, served as Santa Cruz Supervisor for six years, and was the Vice President of the Society of California Pioneers. Hihn was also a founding trustee of California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo. Hihn established the F.A. Hihn Company in 1890, and organized a corporation under the name of the Company which bound together his children by mutual interest. Hihn's principal attorney was Charles Bruce Younger. Hihn's daughter, Agnes Hihn, and Younger's son, C.B. Younger Jr., were married, uniting the two families. F.A. Hihn died at age 84 on August 23rd, 1913. References: Guinn, James M.

COMMENTS PAYMENT OF TAXES AS A CONDITION OF TITLE BY ADVERSE POSSESSION: A NINETEENTH CENTURY ANACHRONISM In California the basic statute governing the obtaining of title to land by adverse possession is section 325 of the Code of Civil Procedure.' This statute places California with the small minority of states that unconditionally require payment of taxes as a pre- requisite to obtaining such title. The logic of this requirement has been under continual attack almost from its inception.2 Some of its defenders state, however, that it serves to give the true owner notice of an attempt to claim his land adversely.' Superficially, the law in California today appears to be well settled, but litigation in which the tax payment requirement is a prominent issue continues to arise.

MINNICH1,3 AND BRETT R. GOFORTH2 1Department of Earth Sciences, University of California, Riverside, California 92521; 2Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, California State University, San Bernardino, California 92407 3Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Historical distributions of 31 tree species, chaparral, and coastal sage scrub described by Spanish land explorers in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries (1769–1806) and in land grant disen˜os (1784– 1846) are reconstructed at 634 localities across central and southern California. This baseline predates most formal botanical surveys by nearly a century, allowing for assessment of vegetation change over the broadest time frame for comparison with pre-historical evidences and future distributions.

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.
