Quality of Life Community Involvement Civic pride is noted throughout the community by both citizens and businesses. It is an active community where prize-winning rose floats have been designed, decorated and continuously entered in Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses Parade since 1955. They are completely financed, constructed and decorated by volunteers. Our outstanding YMCA continues to be one of the best. It is also operated by community volunteers and contributors. Downey is a city of many fine churches that offer a variety of religious and social activities which are reminiscent of small town living. Our unique community spirit and involvement are unmatched anywhere else in Southern California as is evident by the strong participation and volunteers work during the Annual Christmas Parade and Downey Street Faire, both produced by the Downey Chamber of Commerce.

Quality Police & Fire Departments Downey is a full-service city with its own quality police and fire departments. Downey consistently commits to the best public protection for all its citizens and is known for its quiet, safe community. The Downey Fire Department has four stations to serve the city. The city has consistently maintained a Class 2 rating, a factor that leads to lower insurance premiums for

Local Government In 1964, eight years after incorporation, Downey became a Charter City. It operates under the Council-City Manager form of government where the Council employs a City Manager who implements the policies of the Council and is responsible for the operation of the six City Departments – Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Services, Economic Development and Administrative Services. Council members are elected from four geographical districts, with one Council member elected at-large, representing the entire City. These persons are elected for a four-year term, and usually on an annual basis they select a Mayor and a Mayor Pro-Tem from among themselves. Municipal elections are held on the second Tuesday in November in even numbered years. The Council meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 11111 Brookshire Avenue. The Chambers are a part of the threestory, 54,000 square foot City Hall that was completed in 1984. Completing the City Hall Complex is the 29,000-square-foot building which houses the Police Department and the City Library within approximately 27,500 square feet.

History

CELEBRATING 60 YEARS

Downey’s name came from John Gately Downey, an Irish immigrant who had come to California during the gold rush and went on to become the governor of California. In 1876, citizenry voted to change the name of Downey to Los Nietos, citing the confusion the city has with mail going to Downieville, Darwin City and Denver, Colorado. Governor Downey, the Los Angeles Star, local businessses, and other city fathers prevailed and the name remained.

In 1875, Los Nietos Valley produced half of the total agricultural exports of Los Angeles County. Prime crops were tobacco, citrus, walnuts and mulberries. Other crops were sugar beets, oranges, beans, corn, cotton and onions. Exports of the Los Nietos Valley, shipped through the Downey railroad depot in March 1876 were grain, meal, potatoes, merchandise, lumber and shingles. Assessed valuation of Los Angeles County (outside the city of Los Angeles), doubled in the year 1887, going from $32 million to $63 million, and increased until 1890 when the assessed valuation dropped far below that from a peak of $63 million

to $20 million. Crops of oranges, peaches, apples, pears, apricots, plums, figs, walnuts, lemons, raisins, and grapes helped the landowners find economic salvage, making the Los Nietos Valley and the surrounding county one of the richest agricultural counties in the Union. Walnuts were a particularly good crop with one season producing 210 rail cars with each car carrying ten tons of nuts. An unusual crop that some ranchers and their wives grew was pampas grass. It was reported that women of high fashion in Boston and New York would pay as much as one dollar a stalk for it. Downey grower W.C. Holmes

marketed 200,000 of the plumes in one year with a price of $200 to $600 per thousand. The plumes were used primarily on hats.

Downey was largely agrarian until the development of the local aircraft industry during the post-World War II years. Light industry and tract homes replaced the orange groves.

The city was one of the first suburban “planned communities” with quality homes, schools and retail centers. The city of Downey was an amalgamation of Gallatin and College Settlements by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Gallatin was located approximate to the area now intersected by Paramount Boulevard and Florence Avenue. Its date of origin cannot be authenticated but it is known to have existed by 1867. It was the second such village in Southern California (with El Monte claiming to be the first.) College Settlement was developed around the intersection of Paramount Boulevard and Alameda Street in what is now the southern part of Downey. A parcel of land in this southwest corner was purchased by John Ardis to open the Methodist School and Church Center in 1869. Real Estate was an investment of the Downey Land Association. The town’s tax rolls showed that it was taxed on 196 acres in the Los Nietos Township with an assessed valuation of $2,950. Improvements were valued at $330. The

tract included a portion of the Santa Gertrudes Land Association’s property which is located in what is now South Downey.

Downey Land Association was a group of businessmen who were waiting to see which way the Southern Pacific would lay their tracks. John G. Downey was the leader of the group and he named Martin D. Crawford to develop the area. Both Downey and Crawford were interested in creating a viable community and both were industrious, donating time, money and land to the community. Prior to 1930, Downey Avenue was called Crawford Street. At the suggestion of the Historical Society, the name of the

Aerospace put Downey on the map Downey evolved as a city and as an “aero-

space factory” (North American Aviation). An airplane factory later converted to a rocket plant and eventually became the aerospace complex known as Rockwell International’s Space System Division. A few years later, before the Apollo program ended in 1975, the division was awarded another NASA contract to develop the first reusable spacecraft, the Space Shuttle orbiter. Rockwell’s Downey Complex built four space rated-orbiters, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. They also built a along with a prototype, the Enterprise, for atmospheric test flights. Rockwell went on to become Boeing, staying in Downey until the late 1990s.

pioneer was vested in Crawford Park. The first deed to land in the Santa Gertrudes tract was to Joseph H. Burke, executed April 14, 1865. The price was $500 for 250 acres. One of the boundaries described in his parcel was that of George Washington Tweedy, who has a street named after him to this day in North Downey. In 1876, land was costing $75 to $150 per acre. In 1940, the population in Downey was 12,000. The total surpassed 86,000 in 1960. The movement toward incorporation escalated with the population explosion of the 1950s. Residents in outlying areas were given the opportunity to vote and become part of the “City of Downey.” A full service city, Downey has its own police and fire protection. It’s outstanding recreational and library programs provide social activities for all ages. Its schools, city programs, and protective services have set incomparable standards, ensuring an exceptional quality of life for its residents. The spirit of “Future Unlimited” which originated as the city motto in 1956 has become the reality of Downey today and will inspire the Downey of tomorrow.

Four new lakes were added to the design and come into play on seven holes. All the narrow fairways are lined by large mature pine trees and bordered by a standard cut of rough. CONTINUED

PIH HEALTH By the Community, For the Community For more than 50 years PIH Health (formerly Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital) has gone beyond the expected to create the best possible healthcare experience for the residents of Downey and surrounding communities. Today, the 400-bed facility serves more than 1.5 million residents of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties. From its very beginnings in 1959, PIH Health has earned the trust and support of the community by its unparalleled commitment to excellence and a medical staff whose focus is to ensure the finest care for their patients. The hospital has retained the trust of the community by maintaining the highest standards in medical services, making PIH Health the area’s acknowledged leading healthcare center. The hospital was founded during California’s post-WWII population boom that triggered widespread hospital-bed shortages.

From its inception, the strength of PIH Health has been in its vision of a healthier future and a determination to be the best. As a not-forprofit hospital, PIH’s efforts to benefit the community include programs and services which effectively meet identified community needs and improve the overall health of area residents, such as providing immunizations, health education and screenings, and offering a charity care program for those who qualify. PIH Health prides itself on providing high-quality healthcare, a comprehensive array of services, and the latest technology. As scientific breakthroughs and standards of quality patient care are ever-evolving, PIH Health strives to not only keep pace, but to lead the way. To that end, PIH Health rang in the new millennium by announcing the Century Campaign for a multi-phased Master Plan to secure its place as a healthcare leader well into the 21st century. PIH Health is a fully integrated healthcare 28

system with the completion in 2005 of the Ed L. Shannon Tower (phase one of the 3 Tower/ Medical Office Building Master Plan) and the 2006 approval of the $200 million+ Plaza 1 Tower. Guided by the deep-seated belief that healthcare is a right and not a privilege, the approximately 3,000-member staff and 600 physicians/specialists are eminently prepared to serve the region’s residents and fulfill the PIH Health promise to deliver the best health care modem medicine has to offer. PIH Health is ranked number 22 among 140 hospitals in the Los Angeles Metro area, and number 34 among the nearly 500 hospitals in California. It has been noted as performing highly in the specialty areas of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Nephrology and Pulmonology and Ear, Nose and Throat. Downey Chamber of Commerce | www.downeychamber.com

RANCHO LOS AMIGOS Downey is also known for its amazing rehabilitation hospital, Rancho Los Amigos, located at Imperial and Rives. Encompassing more than 200 acres, the site first began in 1878 as a poor farm for the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indigent population. Superintendents came and went with alacrity in the early days. But in 1915, the hospital obtained the services of William R. Harriman to rehabilitate the farm. Not only did Harriman make the farm feed the hospital patients, but provided vegetables for the General Hospital and other County charities. In 1929 the ranch had the care of 2,000 patients, with an average age of 64 years. Then in the 1940s a change began to take place. The humane and progressive policies established by the administration and Harriman then moved into the medical field. Harriman induced the Supervisors to build a modern hospital with an eventual projection of 5,000 patients. Rancho would not be just concerned with custodial care, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it would take the difficult cases which required long-time treatment and use all the resources at its command to restore the patient to a useful life.â&#x20AC;? The impetus for Rancho to become a long-term care for patients with a chronic disease began with polio patients in 1944 who were treated and restored to a functional existence. Next came physical rehabilitation in 1955 to persons disabled by spinal cord injuries or disease, severe arthritis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, strokes and amputations. Today, medical and technological teams include physicians, registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, medical social workers, psychologists, vocational specialists, dietitians and over 2,500 employees working around the clock. The hospital is unique in the country, if not the world.

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Educational Excellence

owney has always put a premium on its school system. In 1877, the Southern Pacific College was built on land at Fifth and New Streets and 87 students were enrolled. James M. Monroe founded the school. Dr. C. B. Riddick bought the school, renaming it the Los Nietos Valley Institute. This school did not succeed and was soon closed down and abandoned. It later burned to the ground. In 1901, residents of Los Nietos Valley organized a high school district, naming the high school Los Nietos Valley Union High School. They had no building for the school, but found temporary quarters in the Downey Grammar School auditorium at the corner of Second and Dolan Streets. A high school was built in December 1905, on Brookshire

at Second Street, and in 1915 the name was changed to Downey Union High School. Today, Downey High is recognized in the National Rankings and earned a bronze medal, according to U.S. News and World Report (schools are ranked based on their performance on state-required tests and how well they prepare students for college). The high school has an average graduation rate of 95% compared with 83% for the Los Angeles area and 82% for the United States.
