  • Significance: The Gardens of Rancho Los Alamitos are an outstanding example of early 20th Century formal landscape planning, exemplifying not only the cultural character of the times but carrying on a tradition of the Beautification Movement of the late 19th Century.

The Gardens as we see them today are the work of Florence Bixby, who built on the gardens created between 1868 and 1906 by her mother-in-law, Susan Bixby. During the period between 1921 and the late 1940s, Florence was assisted by prominent landscape designers and plantsmen. These included William Hertrich, head gardener at the Henry Huntington Estate, Allen Chickering, a native plant expert and college classmate of the Bixby’s, Paul J. Howard landscape designer from the great Los Angeles horticultural Howard family, Florence Yoch from the Pasadena firm of Yoch & Council and the California office of the Olmsted Brothers.

Rancho Los Alamitos is listed twice on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1974 it was listed for its significance as the general site of the Gabrielino village of Povuu’ngna. In 1981 it was listed as a place illustrative of the evolution of the Southern California region and for its long history of more than fifteen hundred years of continuous occupation. HABS (CA-310).
