Beautiful Anaheim In Orange county there are three cities other than Santa Ana, the county seat, which aspire to greater things. These are Anaheim, Orange and Fullerton. Of these the former leads in population, while the other two are close rivals for second place. Anaheim holds the distinction of being the first successful result of an attempt at colonization in this state. Fifty German families formed the nucleus of the present city. The proverbial industry, neatness and thrift of the race is manifest in the prosperous ranches of that section of the country today. Feb. 28, 1857, the heads of the fifty families incorporated in San Francisco what was styled the "Los Angeles Vineyard society." The object of the corporation was the purchase of Southern California lands sufficient in area to give each of the incorporators a home site and sufficient land to insure an opportunity for self support. The men forming the corporation were artisans and were following their various trades in San Francisco. A few months were consumed in investigating various localities and examining different tracts of land, and it was not until Sept. 25th of that year that they obtained possession of the lands upon which to found the colony. On that date a deed was executed by Juna Pacifico Ontiveras conveying to the colony association 1185 acres with water rights in the Santa Ana river and rights of way for canals, the consideration being $2230. Assessed valuation of that particular tract today is $739,000, but the actual value is much more, estimated to be not less than $2,500,000. The tract was Sept. 20th of that year that they obtained possession of the lands upon which to found the colony. On that date a deed was executed by Juna Pacifico Ontiveras conveying to the colony association 1185 acres with water rights in the Santa Ana river and rights of way for canals, the consideration being $2230. Assessed valuation of that particular tract today is $739,000, but the actual value is much more, estimated to be not less than $2,500,000. The tract was divided into fifty ranch home lots of twenty acres each and fifty home lots of dimensions 140 by 180 feet each. On each of the ranch plots were planted eight acres of vineyards which were cared for for three years by Indian and Mexican labor, under the supervision of a man employed by the association, while the owners of the lands still remained in San Francisco at their regular employment. At the end of three years the vineyards had come into bearing and the members of the association met and allotted the home sites and ranches by a drawing, each member receiving a deed of the property thus drawn. They then migrated and took possession of their new homes. All the ranches were put into vines and wine-making became the industry of the colony until about 1886, when a disease attacked the vines and destroyed most of the vineyards. This was the death of the wine industry, but in a measure was the making of the colony, for it turned the attention of the people to general fruit and ranching and has resulted in the making of a large section of country thereabout into a veritable garden. In area Anaheim is one of the smallest cities in the state. Originally it occupied one square mile. Since first incorporated a second square mile of territory has been added. In this limited area today are about 3500 people. Closely adjacent to this another thousand have homes and do business in Anaheim. Anaheim, in many respects, is one of the most progressive cities in the state. It was the first city in California to put into practical operation municipal ownership of public utilities. It has long owned its water system and electrical lighting plant, both of which have prospered under public ownership and have given the people good service. This month the minimum proved and arrangements have completed for the paving blocks on Center street and two on Los Angeles street. Anaheim is justly proud of his system.
