El Cerrito Summary
History
The history of El Cerrito, California dates back to the early 19th century when the area was first settled by Spanish missionaries. The area was originally part of the Rancho San Pablo, a large land grant given to the Mission San Francisco de Asis by the Spanish government in 1820. The area was then divided up into smaller parcels and sold off to settlers in the mid-1800s. The first permanent settlement in the area was established in 1859 by a man named William Meek, who built a small house and began farming the land.
In the late 1800s, the area began to develop as a small rural community, with the establishment of a post office, a school, and a few stores. The town was officially incorporated in 1908 and was named after the nearby Cerrito Creek.
In the early 20th century, El Cerrito experienced a period of rapid growth, as the population increased from just over 500 in 1910 to over 4,000 by 1920. This growth was largely due to the development of the nearby East Bay cities of Berkeley and Oakland, which provided employment opportunities for many of the new residents.
In the 1950s, El Cerrito experienced a period of suburbanization, as many of the residents moved out of the city and into the surrounding suburbs. This trend continued into the 1960s and 1970s, as the population of El Cerrito declined from its peak of over 10,000 in 1960 to just over 8,000 by 1980.
