Description
Title
Old
Jake
Miller
Ranch
Date Range
1920-1929
Description
Account
of a
ranch
owned
by
Jake
Miller
that was
once
prosperous
in
agriculture
but
became
barren
after
the
purchase
of
City
of
Los
Angeles
.
Note
To
meet
the
need
for
water
of its
growing
population
, the
City
of
Los
Angeles
began
acquiring
water
rights
in the
Owens
Valley
in
1905
. The
Los
Angeles
Aqueduct
was
completed
in
1913
to
bring
Owens
Valley
water
to the
city
.
During
the
1920s
, the
City
of
Los
Angeles
began
additional
large-scale
purchases
of
land
in the
Owens
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
and
economy
.
