San Augustine County - Bok av John Oglesbee & Betty Oglesbee - Inbunden

San Augustine County - Bok av John Oglesbee & Betty Oglesbee - Inbunden

San Augustine has been called the \Eastern Gateway into Texas\ for more than three centuries. Many immigrants crossed the Sabine River and followed El Camino Real to the little settlement nestled on each side of this ancient roadway. Alamo-bound David Crockett wrote his last letter to his daughter Margaret from San Augustine on January 9, 1836. Davy's words echoed the favorable impressions expressed by new arrivals to Texas: \I am hailed with hearty welcome to this country . . . The cannon was..

Early Los Altos and Los Altos Hills - Bok av Don McDonald & Los Altos History Museum - Inbunden

Early Los Altos and Los Altos Hills - Bok av Don McDonald & Los Altos History Museum - Inbunden

Los Altos would never have existed if not for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Since the 1850s, Los Altos, Spanish for \heights\ or \foothills,\ was the name generally applied to the two ranchos (San Antonio and La Purisima Concepcion) between Palo Alto and Mountain View southwest of El Camino Real. In 1906, visionaries Paul Shoup, who worked for the railroad, and Walter Clark, a Mountain View real estate developer, saw the potential to turn Sarah Winchester's ranch near Stanford University into..

Alamogordo - Bok av Peter Eidenbach - Inbunden

In 1898, the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad established New Mexico's first preplanned development community at Alamogordo. This city and its satellite communities of Tularosa, La Luz, and Cloudcroft are the only urban settlements in an area almost as large as Connecticut--the vast deserts and mountains of the Tularosa Basin are where people \climb for water and dig for wood.\ Alamogordo became the county seat after Otero County was created to modify the trial venue for the murder of Albert Fountain..

Helotes - Bok av Cynthia Leal Massey - Inbunden

Helotes - Bok av Cynthia Leal Massey - Inbunden

A small town with a big history, Helotes--20 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio--was named for the Spanish word elotes, or corn on the cob. So extensive were the fields of corn along its namesake creek, a Spanish official in 1723 called the area el Puerto de los Olotes, or Corncob Pass. When settlers later arrived, few ancient cornfields remained. Situated along Bandera Road, the town became a stagecoach stop, and a post office was established in 1873. Nevertheless, the settlement remained rural..

Oceano - Bok av Norm Hammond, M D Austin, m.fl. - Inbunden

Oceano is a California beach town between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Originally part of the Rancho El Pismo Mexican land grant of 1840, Oceano first appeared as a place name on a map in 1893 and was promoted as a beach resort soon after the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in 1895. While most of these promotions failed during the Great Depression, the railroad depot continued as a shipping point for the area's agriculture. During this time, Oceano became a point of entry for the \Dunites,\..

Westwood - Bok av Marc Wanamaker - Inbunden

Don Maximo Alanes was awarded a land grant from the king of Spain in 1843 known as El Rancho San Jose de Buenos Aires, stretching east-west from what is now Sawtelle Boulevard to Beverly Hills, and from Sunset to Pico Boulevards. Preserved into the 20th century under state senator John Wolfskill's ownership, the rancho was sold to Broadway Department Store founder Arthur Letts for $100 an acre in 1920 for estates he called Holmby Hills after his British birthplace. His son-in-law Harold Janss developed..

Sunnyvale - Bok av Ben Koning, Anneke Metz, m.fl. - Inbunden

Sunnyvale has been a place for forward thinking and innovation since its founding in 1861, when Irish immigrant Martin Murphy Jr. allowed a new railroad to pass through his land. By linking San Jose's farms to San Francisco's docks, he did more than help overcome the muddy misery of travel on the El Camino Real. The whistle stop first known as \Encinal\ quickly grew into a center for agriculture, followed by defense, novel suburban development, and high technology. Sunnyvale is a place where names..
