Ensenada promotion


While doing other research I came upon this article in the Los Angeles Times. I have typed the paragraph just as it appeared

John M.



Los Angeles Times; June 16, 1887

The Town of Ensenada

Situate on the beautiful Bay of Todos Santos, contains a population of 1400 souls, mostly Americans. It is laid out on an ample scale, all lots being 82x164 feet. The streets and avenues are eighty-two feet in width, with the exception of an avenue which is 120 feet in width, with a length of fifteen miles. All streets and avenues are bordered with trees and ornamental shrubbery, imported from California. Besides, there is a magnificent park, in which may be seen trees and flowers of the temperate and torrid zones. The town is well built, some of the structures possessing architectural beauty of rare merit. Several manufactories are in operation and others are in comtemplation. The harbor is grand, and will of itself invite commerce. There is no town today upon either continent possessing a more promising future.
