 Frequently Asked Questions: San Gabriel
In the 1880s, San Gabriel was "a wild little town with eighteen saloons within a two-block area." Most of its several hundred residents were not particularly pleased with its reputation and in the early 1890s voted to eliminate the saloons.
Nearly from the outset, the padres at the San Gabriel Mission tested the fertility of the lands belonging to the mission, successfully growing limes, pomegranates, figs, peaches, pears, and apples.
Even after the mission's influence declined, the San Gabriel Valley continued to be a land filled with grazing sheep and cattle, fruit orchards, and fields of grain, as Mexican and American ranchers and farmers maintained the agricultural traditions of the Franciscan padres.
