Historical Background
To
meet
the
need
for
water
of its
growing
population
, the
City
of
Los
Angeles
began
buying
land
and
corresponding
water
rights
in the
Owens
Valley
in
1905
,
starting
the
famous
Owens
Valley
Water
Controversy
. In
1913
, the
great
Los
Angeles
Aqueduct
was
completed
to
bring
Owens
Valley
water
to the
city
. In the
1920s
, the
City
of
Los
Angeles
began
additional
large-scale
purchases
of
land
in the
valley
to
increase
its
supply
of
water
from the
valley
,
resulting
in the
city's
almost
complete
control
of the
valley's
agricultural
land
. This
led
to a
decline
in the
valley's
agricultural
infrastructure
. A
resident
of
Big
Pine
and
leader
of
resistance
against
Los
Angeles
,
J
.
D
.
Black
(1893-1960)
used
such
photographs
as these to
document
the
deterioration
of the
valley
under
Los
Angeles
rule
