To assure an adequate supply of workers, the Orange Growers Association and Lemon Growers Association partnered to build housing for Mexican workers on this site, constructing 34 small homes for families and two barracks for single men. At times as many as 200 people lived in the community. In later years, the homes were sold to individuals, and many were occupied well into the 1970's.
