This historic resources survey is funded in part by a grant from the Los Angeles County Preservation Fund of the National Trust of Historic Preservation. The City of Temple City retained Historic Resources Group (HRG) to complete this survey project as a first step toward the development of a historic preservation program to protect the city’s historic and cultural resources. HRG conducted a detailed survey of the entire city, focusing on properties constructed prior to 1970. Surveyors identified properties that appeared eligible for individual designation as landmarks or points of interest, as well as geographically-definable areas that appeared eligible for designation as Historic Districts or Conservation Areas. All identified properties were evaluated for potential listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, and for local listing. In conjunction with the field survey, HRG developed a citywide historic context statement. The historic context statement includes a narrative development history of the area’s built environment, organized by important themes and periods of development. It also identifies associated property types, architectural styles, integrity thresholds, and registration requirements to aid in the City’s ongoing efforts to identify historic resources in Temple City. This survey has identified ninety-six (96) individual properties which appear eligible for local designation as landmarks, including residential, commercial, civic and institutional properties. Additionally, the survey identified four (4) properties which do not retain sufficient integrity to be eligible as landmarks, but appear eligible for local designation as points of interest. Finally, one (1) area was identified for potential designation as a conservation area. Also, all identified potential landmarks have been evaluated as appearing eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources; seven properties also appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. No historic districts were identified. This project was conducted by Historic Resources Group, including Christy McAvoy, Founding Principal; Kari Michele Fowler, Senior Preservation Planner; Christine Lazzaretto, Senior Architectural Historian; and Robby Aranguren, Planning Associate; all of whom meet the Secretary of the Interior's qualifications for professionals in historic preservation.1 The project was managed first by Joseph Lambert, Community Development Manager for the City of Temple City. Following Mr. Lambert’s departure, the project was overseen by Paul Deibel, AICP, Community Development Project Manager; and Steven Masura, Community Development Director. 1 Federal Register, Vol. 48, No. 190, pp. 44738-44739, September 29, 1983. SURVEY REPORT 1 City of Temple City Historic Resources Survey PROJECT OVERVIEW BACKGROUND In 2010, the City of Temple City was notified that it would be awarded a grant from the National Trust of Historic Preservation’s Los Angeles County Preservation Fund, to assist in funding its first historic resources survey.2 In November 2010, the City of Temple City retained the consulting firm of Historic Resources Group (HRG) to conduct a citywide historic resources survey in order to identify potentially historic properties within the city for consideration in the local planning process and for possible future designation. The survey project officially began in February of 2011. At the time of this survey project, the City of Temple City does not have any historic preservation mechanisms in place. The City currently does not have a historic preservation ordinance, criteria for designation, or a historic preservation element as part of its General Plan. However, the City is fortunate to have a very active historical society, which maintains and historic museum as well as archives of historical photographs and other documents relating to the history of Temple City. The Historical Society of Temple City maintains a list of older properties within the city, and this list served as a starting point for the current survey project. SURVEY AREA The area of consideration for this historic context statement is the City of Temple City. Temple City is situated as the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountains in the west San Gabriel Valley, approximately 13 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. The city comprises 4.01 square miles and is bounded generally by the cities of Arcadia to the north, San Gabriel to the west, Rosemead to the south, and El Monte

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

  • 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.

First of all, I would like to personally thank Mr. Paul R. Spitzzeri, Collections Manager of the Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum in the City of Industry. Mr. Spitzzeri has not only been resourceful in his knowledge of Rancho La Puente, but his generosity and sincerity in providing key documents was the critical element in describing how the Puente Hills has played a vital part in the history of Southern California. Paul, I can’t thank you enough for this. I would also like to personally thank Ms. Lynn Bremer, Director of the Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library. Ms. Bremer was kind enough to send me a copy of a letter dated in 1816, which underscores the importance of the Puente Hills area to the missionaries at Mission San Gabriel. I also want to thank Dr. Janet Farrell Brodie of Claremont Graduate University for not only giving me critical feedback on this paper, but the opportunity to even write it. Much gratitude has to be given to the Puente Hills Landfill Habitat Authority for their charitableness in allowing us to write a piece of local history.
