Book excerpt: The thousands of acres of navel orange groves that once blanketed Riverside, California, were one of the most recognizable icons of the states early citrus industry and also the origin for Californias nickname, The Golden State. Founded as a utopian colony in the wake of the Civil War, Riverside soon began to lure wealthy foreign and eastern investors who turned their sights towards Riverside where the perfect combination of sun, soil, and water turned the opportunity of citrus growing into a multimillion-dollar industry. Twenty-five years after Riversides founding, millions of dollars of investments had transformed the small agricultural outpost into the wealthiest city per capita in the nation. The citys Orange Barons invested their money by building stately Victorian mansions and imposing brick commercial buildings. Others lured additional investors by creating parks with tropical plant gardens, formal avenues landscaped with rare and beautiful trees, and a carefully designed downtown area with beautiful churches, hotels, and civic buildings.

Download or read book Notes on Early History of Riverside California written by James H. Roe and published by . This book was released on 1932 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Roe's notes, which include a (separate) history of water in the Riverside valley and a thorough index, cover the history of Riverside from the purchase of land by the colony founders in 1870 to the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the city in 1885. The three subjects most heavily addressed are the development of area water systems, the development of the citrus fruit industry, and local marriages, although the notes touch on everything from encounters with American Indians to the wingspan of a stray pelican at the park. Prominent figures in the document include John W. North, Matthew Gage, and Frank Miller; Virgil Earp makes an appearance in a confrontation between railroads. Roe intended the manuscript for publication, and two readers added notes to the piece before it was typed. The document is a typescript copy of the original, which is held by the Riverside Public Library.
Download or read book The Health Seekers of Southern California 1870 1900 written by John E. Baur and published by Huntington Library Classics. This book was released on 2010 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth-century notion that Southern California's sunny climate could cure tuberculosis, asthma, rheumatism, and a host of other diseases triggered a rush of health seekers to the region. By the end of the century, these settlers from the East had inflated land values, caused building booms, inaugurated new types of businesses, and founded such towns as Pasadena, Riverside, and Palm Springs. Baur investigates this migration's effect on the settlement and development of Southern California, focusing on boosterism, resort advertising, medicine and pseudomedicine, and sanitariums. When his study of the region's health-resort industry was originally published in 1959, he was hailed as the Herodotus of the health movement of Southern California.
