    Description

    The 1880s were remarkable in Southern California history for a land boom of unprecedented proportions. In the decades after the Civil War, the great ranchos of Southern California were breaking up, and vine and citrus culture gradually replaced the Spanish-Mexican pastoral economy. The arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1876 increased immigration, and prospective settlers swarmed in from most of the United States and many countries of Europe.
