About Our City – Tustins Beginnings

People who know this area well sometimes refer to Tustin as "The City of the Trees." Although a

variety of trees are responsible for this nickname, this is a distinctive quality of the area which dates

back centuries, actually to the time of the early Spanish explorers. The first Europeans in Orange County came with the Portola Expedition in 1769. This expedition, which had two padres (including Father Juan Crespi) and a small contingent of the

army, set out north to establish the string of missions throughout California. (Father Serra,

who was in charge of this project, was not along on this expedition, remaining in San Diego to

establish the mission there.) A few years later, the early Spanish Grijalva scouting party (The Anza

Expedition, 1776) identified the area from Santiago Creek to Red Hill as El Alisal, the

Sycamore Grove. At that time, the land was dotted with massive, white-barked sycamore trees. It is of some note that three of the massive trees still exist,

although today they are on private property.

The American Indians living in the region when the Spanish first arrived spoke a

dialect of the Shoshone language. Much of the Indian

culture is only today being pieced together

from archeological studies in the area.

However, it is known that there had been an Indian

village or gathering place around Red Hill.

Although the Indians of that time were nomadic, when the Spanish came, they grouped the Indians according to which mission district they were in at

the time, and turned them from fishermen and harvesters of seasonal nuts and berries into farm

workers. The Indians who lived in what is today the Tustin area were called the "Gabrielino"

Indians, for they were under the jurisdiction of the San Gabriel Mission. They

were considered, according to the

European standards of the time, to be

"somewhat more sophisticated" than the

"Juanenos" Indians, who were under the jurisdiction of the San Juan Capistrano

Mission.

The reason trees grew here was the same one which attracted Indians and then the early settlers -

the availability of a dependable water supply, some of it from natural artesian wells that flowed

from the ground. The water certainly attracted Juan Pablo Grijalva, who, in 1810, received a

grant to use it for ranching. Over the next generations, the land was divided between family

members. In 1868, when a dispute within the family over ownership could not be resolved, the

land was partitioned to be sold.

Columbus Tustin, a Northern California carriage maker, and his partner Nelson Stafford, purchased 1,300 acres of what had been the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana for the price of one dollar and fifty

cents per acre. Mr. Tustin attempted to create "Tustin City," but sales of home sites were slow,

and in the early 1870s he ended up giving free lots to anyone who would build a home.

In 1877, Tustin lost out to Santa Ana as the Southern terminus of the Southern Pacific

Railroad, and Columbus Tustin died in 1883, a bitterly disappointed man. Nonetheless, with the abundance of water, the community named after him gradually became

established as an agricultural center. By the 1880s there were three churches, a fifty room hotel, a

2

bank, and a horse drawn "tallyho" (trolley line) which connected Tustin to Santa Ana. By the turn

of the century, groves of apricots and walnuts were gradually being replaced by the more

profitable Valencia oranges.

Tustin's reputation as an area leader in education was begun at this time, with a public school led by educator John "Zeke" Zeilian. In 1927, the population topped 900, and the voters elected to incorporate.

During World War II, three military bases were established in nearby bean fields and unincorporated areas in proximity to Tustin: the Santa Ana Army Air Base, the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, and the navy's Lighter-Than-Air Base (where the huge hangers housed coast-patrolling blimps).

In the 1950s, Tustin's growth began in earnest. Freeways, quality schools, and post-war industries attracted thousands of people. The orchards were developed by builders and by 1970 the population had jumped to 32,000. Growth was a painful process as houses replaced orange groves. Old timers and newcomers alike had to adapt to each other, cope with new problems and situations, and expand facilities to handle increased patronage. And so tract after tract replaced grove after grove.

With all the development, the next step was annexations to the City. Annexation became the major issue during the period from 1955 to 1965. One of the early annexations to the city was the Tustin Union High School campus. Although the school was built in 1921, it remained outside the city limits until annexation in 1957. During the 1950s the City increased 220 percent in size with annexations. The big leap came in the 1960s when the population increased a whopping 1,012 percent, going from 2,006 to 22,313 population and the land area increased from 434.23 acres to

2,214.77, or a 410 percent increase. Several large annexations greatly increased the city's area between 1971 and 1981. The Marine Corps Air Station was annexed to Tustin, adding 2,076 acres to the city. A few years later a total of 2,257 acres that had been in the Irvine Ranch agricultural preserve were annexed and are being developed as Tustin Ranch.

Today, almost all the orchards are gone; now Tustin is an urban area. However, if you know where to look, you can still see signs of the City's proud history. Historic old buildings, some dating back to the 1880s, are maintained in "Old Town" on Main Street and El Camino Real. The museum shows a living history of those times gone by. And there's more: three trees yet remain of those original massive sycamores. And finally, everywhere lining the streets, one still sees trees, trees and more trees in Tustin, The City of Trees.

The First Tustin School opened 137 years ago

Built in 1882 to replace Tustin’s first school, an unoccupied house, this two-story school building complete with bell tower cost just a little more than $5,000. Photo courtesy Tustin Area Museum

Tustin schools will mark their 137th anniversary next week, Feb. 5 to be exact.

Soon after his wife and five children arrived in Tustin City, Columbus Tustin set about establishing a school for the area he had designated as the School Block on the settlement’s first plat map in 1870. A block between C and B and Second and Third streets, the property had a small one-story house on the southwest corner, on the north side of Third, close to B, which could be used as a school house.1

On Feb. 5, 1872, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (Orange County did not exist) established a school district, calling it Sycamore School District because of the native sycamores growing on the site. Minutes from meetings of the board of trustees show that Miss Anna Cosad was hired as the first teacher for a salary of $60 a month.

E.C. Utt, who attended this first school, recalled in later years that about 28 students from a dozen or so families were enrolled in grades 1 through 8, although their attendance was irregular. Miss Cosad didn’t stay too long. Salaries were raised with some men receiving as much as $100 while women were paid between $50 and $80, but few teachers lasted more than a year and many quit after a month or two.

The district paid Tustin $8 per month rent until about 1875 when they purchased the building for $700. In 1882 it was replaced by a two-story school with two classrooms on each floor. A bell tower held the school bell that is now displayed in front of the Tustin Unified School district office on C Street. This two-story school was enlarged about 1890 when Sycamore School District became Tustin School District.

My mother, my aunts and uncle attended Tustin Grammar School. They often recalled how they and other students from outlying areas traveled to school by horse and buggy, arriving early to unhitch, feed, water and tether their horse for the day in the school stable. They also remembered

that the boys and girls had separate play yards divided by a fence.

This building was used until 1914 when a single-level primary school and a two-story grammar school were built. Students graduating from eighth grade went to Santa Ana High until Tustin High School District formed and built a high school in 1922.

The district adopted the neighborhood schools format in the 1950s, closing the primary and grammar schools and razing the buildings. The Senior Center now occupies the elementary school site and the Presbyterian Church has expanded into the area used by the primary school. The original Tustin High School buildings

Old Town Tustin - Historic Highlights

Tustin Old Town is an area centered around a group of historic buildings located on Main Street and El Camino Real which date back to the 1880s. Among the early businesses and structures in Tustin were a blacksmith shop, a combined grocery store/meat market, a business and feed store building, churches and school buildings. The present day museum is located in a historic old building which has housed many businesses over the decades.

Main Street runs from Williams Street on the west to just past Newport Avenue on the east. Today, its one-and-a-half miles reveal over twelve decades of Tustin's past. Tourists are advised to park their cars and follow a map to "Take Main Street to Tustin History." This sidewalk tour has three short side trips to expand the study. The total walking distance is just over two miles, but in that distance Southern California's past is illuminated in a special way.

The Tustin Area Historical Society

Museum and office is located at 395 El Camino Real (at Main Street) Map - The museum contains a wealth of information and photographs about the history and growth of Tustin. The museum is open the first and third Saturday of every month from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., and every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information on the history of Tustin please visit

Tustin High Built 1960

Some Old Town HighlightsThe Stevens House: Pioneer Sherman Stevens' home was built in 1887 of redwood shipped from Eureka. A classic Queen Anne Victorian with many interesting architectural features, it remained in the Stevens family until 1980. Avocado groves which surrounded it were replaced with office buildings in 1982.

The Pankey Residence: Built in 1928 in the California Monterey style, some of the walls are 18 inches thick. The tree seen over the roof in the rear is one of the massive native sycamores which were already growing when Columbus Tustin first bought the land from the Spanish Land Grant in the 1860s.

The Leihy House: Built around 1915, this home is an interesting example of a California Craftsman bungalow with its front-facing gable, exposed rafters, front door lights, heavy posts, and large, horizontal beams.

The Vance House: Built of redwood in 1887. This Queen Anne Victorian exhibits the typical

variety of patterns, gabled roof with widow's walk and cresting, saw work, decorative bands, carved brackets, fish scale siding and spindle balusters.

The Leinburger House: This Victorian cottage was built in 1888.

The Rock House: Built in 1950 by a Civil Engineer using his rock collection gathered while on jobs in the Rocky Mountain states.

The Hewes House: Built in 1881, it was added to in 1920. This house combines a variety of styles; Victorian Eastlake, Italianate, and Greek revival features.

Tustin Presbyterian Church: Organized in 1882, the Tustin Presbyterian Church replaced their Victorian chapel in 1928 with this Spanish colonial revival.

Knights of Pythias Building:This Italian Romanesque building became the center of much social, fraternal and commercial activity. Tustin's first City Hall was located in one of the rear stores.

Shop Buildings at 130-140 West Main Street: These shop buildings date back to

about 1914 when they housed the post office, drug store and barbershop. This was the site of the Wells Fargo Express Office, as well. And there are many other buildings

as well, all carefully preserved to keep a part of Southern California history alive in

Tustin.

Is the City of Tustin a General Law or Charter City?

The City of Tustin is a General Law city. The Constitution of the State of California establishes two types of cities: Charter and General Law. At first glance they appear similar as they pertain to day-to-day- operations. A Charter City, however, has considerably more authority than a General Law City to tax, to regulate and to adopt its own procedures and organization. A General Law City, on the other hand, may exercise only those powers expressly given under State law. All cities begin as General Law cities, and the City of Tustin has chosen to remain such.

What type of Government do we have in Tustin?

The City of Tustin has a Council-Manager form of government which consists of an elected City Council responsible for policy making, and a professional City Manager, appointed by the Council.  The City Manager provides policy advice, directs the daily operations of City government, handles personnel functions (including the power to appoint and remove employees) and is responsible for preparing the City budget. State law permits two basic

5

forms of government in General Law Cities: the Mayor-City Council and Council-Manager system.

First Tustin Library opened in 1890

The new Tustin Library, which will be dedicated at 345 Main St. during 10 a.m. ceremonies on Saturday, has traveled a long and bumpy road with many stops since 1890 when a few Tustin ladies gathered a collection of books and set up a Reading Room in the Tustin Grammar School on C Street.

By 1906 more than 1,500 books were available to the schoolchildren and residents of Tustin. When the new Tustin Grammar School opened next door in 1914, the Reading Room, still staffed by volunteers, moved there.

The Orange County Free Library took over the Reading Room in 1924, opening it to the public, but branch service did not begin until 1931 when Mrs. Hazel Gowdy, wife of a Tustin orange grower, was hired as the first head librarian. In 1933 an earthquake damaged the school, including the library. Temporary classrooms used up most of the vacant space in Tustin, but Mrs. Gowdy and the salvaged books found a home in a tiny office at the rear of the First National Bank building.

Carolyn Campbell, postmistress and library

board member, called the new location which opened onto D Street (El Camino Real) “a miserable little hole.” Her husband and several other men built temporary book shelves, never dreaming that the library would stay in this cubbyhole until 1938.

Mrs. Gowdy and others in the community continually lobbied for better quarters and finally the library was moved to a 1914 era building at 130 W. Main St. The Chamber of Commerce, businesses and individuals donated materials and money for tables, benches, magazine racks and shelves to equip this larger location. The Tustin High School shop classes under the direction of Orville Northrup, who would later become principal, volunteered as carpenters. In 1946 the library moved again; this time into the location now occupied by Rutabegorz. Then in 1950 they moved to the city of Tustin Annex on Third Street, sharing space with the fire department, police, city government and court.

Eight years later the population growth forced another move to Andrew Place at Newport Avenue. This building was enlarged in 1963, but soon became too small with a doubling of patron registration and tripling of circulation. By 1974 the library no longer had room for its 59,304 volumes, including 32,438 adult books and 26,866 children’s books, and plans were made for a 13,000-square-foot location in the still to-be built Civic Center.

Little did they realize when this proposal became a reality in 1976 that 30 some years later this space too would be outgrown and

5

they would be moving again. This time into a light and airy 32,400 square feet location with abundant comfortable seating and WIFI access throughout.

Other special features include an adult computer section, offering 26 computer stations and on-line catalog stations, nonfiction and fiction collections with Large Print materials, a selection of 200 magazines and newspapers, a teen “zone” equipped with six computers and study rooms, an adult quiet room, a computer lab for class size instruction, a homework center, a community room and large conference room as well as space for the Friends of the Library book store.The Elizabeth Anne MacPherson Children’s Learning Center featuring a story time room, study alcove, 20 computers, and books to entice every child reader as well as a children’s patio.4
