Baldwin Park Baldwin
Park dates back 142 years to 1860. At that time it was a part of the cattle grazing land
belonging to the San Gabriel Mission; later, Baldwin Park was part of Rancho Azusa de
Dalton and the Rancho La Puente. With the decline of cattle ranching due to severe
drought, the area north of the present Ramona Boulevard was settled by small
farmers-squatters. The community, named "Pleasant View", was composed of small
farms and Vineyards shaded by pepper trees. Water shortage was a major problem - farmers
with no wells were forced to haul water in from the San Gabriel River. Since irrigation
was not utilized, all crops depended upon rainfall for water.
