The Early History of Sunland, California: Volumes 1-8 - 6590

The Early History of Sunland, California, is a compilation of the eight previously published volumes in the series of the same name. Sunland, originally named Monte Vista, began as a platted town during the Land Boom of the 1880s. Monte Vista failed to develop and is listed in some histories as a ghost town. However, the village did grow and prosper in the hands of farmers. This is a history of the settlers who stayed and how the town grew thanks to their pioneer ingenuity and determination. Although details are specific to Sunland, its history is similar to that of many small towns that were founded and developed after the transcontinental railroad opened the West for settlement.
