Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Los Angeles State Normal School: A Quarter Centennial History, 1882 1907 The California of today is so unlike the California of yesterday that yesterday seems a long way off. In the days since the ships of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo came to anchor off the bay of San Diego, as great a transformation has taken place in Southern California as the fourteen or fifteen centuries have wrought in England since first the Anglo-Saxon set his conquering foot upon her shores. From the degraded Indian village of Yang-na on the banks of the Porciuncula, with its wild inhabitants welcoming the little retinue of Gasper de Portola with weird and savage cries sounding to the ears of the padre who recorded the event like the howling of wolves, to the beautiful modern city whose name commemorates that second day of August of one hundred and thirty-eight years ago, and in whose very heart the site of that forgotten village lies, the imagination takes as wide a sweep as in retracing a dozen centuries in many another land. Even to go back a quarter century in the life of that city takes one into conditions vastly different from those of the present time. Twenty-five years ago there were in California four cities, each larger than Los Angeles - San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and Sacramento, the population of Los Angeles then being about eleven thousand. The business section of the city was bounded on the south by First Street, and contained few buildings more than two stories in height. The streets were dimly illuminated with gas lights. A local newspaper of 1882 contains A History of the Wonderful Electric Tower in San Jose, and urges the citizens to provide the new light for the streets of Los Angeles, arguing that from the hills such a tower would not only light up the entire city, but also the beautiful orange groves for miles around. At that time the few street cars were drawn by horses. According to a current newspaper joke, cowbells were for a time hung upon the horses necks to give notice that the cars were actually approaching in the distance. In an account of the growth of Los Angele's during the year 1 881, a writer of the time says It has been a year of great progress for the city, supporting the assertion with a list of buildings erected during the year whose aggregate cost was nearly$200, 000. Main Street was the chief commercial thoroughfare. Broadway, then called Fort Street (from Fort Moore built in 1847 on the hill now pierced by the Broadway tunnel) was a sparsely settled residence street. During this year a lot on this avenue between First and Second streets was sold for$675; and a five-room house with a large lot near the Normal School was offered at$1, 800. The leading hotels were the Cosmopolitan, the Pico (now the National Hotel), the St. Elmo, and the St. Charles. The Nadeau was built during the year and was the tallest and most pretentious structure in the city; but its location was considered to be too far out of town for hotel purposes, and the building was rented for offices and apartments. The number of pupils in the city public schools was sixteen hundred and eight; the City Superintendent was paid a salary of fifteen hundred dollars.
