  • Welcome to Rancho Los Cerritos the California Native Garden
    Welcome to Rancho Los Cerritos Explore the region’s cultural and natural history as you stroll the site! Rancho Los Cerritos is located on the ancestral land of the Tongva people, and it was part of a large Spanish land grant. Built in 1844, the U-shaped adobe building has served as a ranch headquarters, an apartment house, and a private home. Today, the adobe echoes with the fascinating stories of all those who have called it home over the years, while the gardens provide space for people to unwind, as well as habitat for native and migratory birds, butterflies, and other critters. Rancho Los Cerritos is a national, state, and local historic landmark. It is open to the public Wednesdays through Sundays. Admission, tours, and parking are free, thanks to continuous donations. Donations also support the site’s innovative exhibits, award-winning education programs, and extensive preservation activities. Walking Route: Please connect with us on social media and join our California Native Garden (A), email list (www.rancholoscerritos.org) for upcoming Adobe (B), Orchard (C), events. Membership, site rental, and volunteer Backyard (D), Forecourt (E) opportunity information is available at the Visitor Center. The California Native Garden (A) Near the entrance to the California Native Garden is a plaque commemorating the site’s status as California Registered Historical Landmark #978. This portion of the site was originally covered with native grasses and coastal sage scrub. In the 1930s, landscape architect Ralph Cornell installed a garden of native and exotic plants for Avis and Llewellyn Bixby Sr., which helped to prevent erosion caused by rainfall.

Cultivation, environment, and faithful caring all have an influence on the final result. Throughout history burgeoning artists have instinctively, and certainly out of financial consideration, opted to live in close communities with fellow artists. In such settings, artists create their own subcultures as they spend their days among like-minded friends who speak their language—a form of communication that is based on their specific brand of artistic discipline and philosophy. Fellowship among artists becomes an essential source of sustaining encouragement in this lifestyle which can be sporadic in work and income. At times, an artist may travail obliviously over many days and weeks with only John Bond Francisco (1863–1931) occasional breaks for quick meals and Out of the Dust, c. 1918 minimal sleep.

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.

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.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Cityhood incorporation is a common local issue in the American local history regarding different political, social, and economic factors. However, the creation of municipality becomes more con- troversial agenda in certain local regions when suburban ethnic communities are rapidly created by post-1965 immigration. It is reflected by the cityhood movement in Hacienda Heights in 2003, when Chinese/Taiwanese immigrants added ethnic elements in these public and civic activities. This study provides further observation and investigation to the impact that Chinese capitalize on their ethnic and non-ethnic social networks to increase their power in the community-based civic matters, while showing various dimensions on the responses from local multiethnic communities. Keywords Chinese American, Immigration, Ethnoburb, Eastward Migration, San Gabriel Valley, Hacienda Heights, Cityhood Movement, HHIA, HHCA 1. Introduction Since the late nineteenth century, the cityhood movement is a common local phenomenon in the United States with regards to the sharing of local political power by diverse groups, multi-ethnic relationship, local economic growth, as well as the choice of different community-based lifestyles among local people.
