Los Alamitos ("The Little Cottonwoods" in Spanish) is a small city
in Orange County, California, United States. The city was incorporated in
March 1960. The population was 11,536 at the 2000 census. It is often
mistakenly thought to include the adjacent but unincorporated community of
Rossmoor (population just under 11,000) which uses Los Alamitos as its
mailing address. Although Rossmoor is not part of Los Alamitos, it is
speculated that it may be annexed to the city, or Rossmoor, Seal Beach, and
Los Alamitos will combine to form one city. [1]
The USA Water Polo National Aquatic Center, where the men's and women's US
Olympic water polo teams train, is located on the US Military Joint Forces
Training Base in Los Alamitos. The facility is also used for major water
polo tournaments, swim classes and local swim teams. The Joint Forces
Training Base includes the Los Alamitos Army Airfield.
History
The clusters of cottonwood trees Spanish explorers saw more than 200 years
ago inspired Los Alamitos' name, but it is the sugar beet that figured most
prominently in the area's later history.
In the early days of Spanish colonization, Los Alamitos (The Little
Cottonwoods or Poplars in Spanish), was the name given to one of five
ranchos that were split off from an original grant given to Manuel Nieto, a
former sergeant in the Spanish army, by the California governor,
coincidentally his former commander. Nieto's original grant was not only one
of the first three awarded by the Spanish in upper California, it was also
the largest, comprising most of western Orange County and eastern Long
Beach. After Nieto died, his children requested his original grant be
separated, and Los Alamitos was one of the five divisions.
The 85,000 acre (340 km˛) Rancho Los Alamitos originally included
much of present-day eastern Long Beach, and all of the Orange county
cities/communities of Los Alamitos and Rossmoor and most of Seal Beach,
Cypress, Stanton and Garden Grove. Its ownership was to change and its
boundaries would shrink many times. The historic ranch house and surrounding
facilities for Rancho Los Alamitos can still be found adjacent to Cal State
Long Beach.

The history of the Rancho Los Alamitos is almost a microcosm for the
history of westward expansion in the United States. Situiated in the flood
plain between the mouths of the ever-shifting Los Angeles, San Gabriel and
Santa Ana Rivers, the terrain of the rancho is virtually flat, and was
subject to frequent flooding. The rancho building itself is located near
springs alongside on one of the few small hills in the area. It was also the
site of a major Native American Gabrielino (or Tongva) community.
In 1844 the rancho was purchased by Abel Stearns, a Massachusetts native who
typified the many Yankees who settled in California and merged with the
ruling Spanish population. Stearns, who married Arcadia, the daughter of
early leader Juan Bandini, became one of the leading merchants and rancho
owners in Mexican California.
The rancho was on the periphery of the battles that settled the California
phase of the war between Mexico and the United States. After it became part
of the United States, the rancho was the headquarters of the largest cattle
ranch then in existence in the United States. Through shrewd business
dealings, Stearns assumed control of Los Alamitos and many other
surrounding ranchos. During the California Gold Rush, the rancho supplied
much of the beef that would be herded north to feed the growing number of
emigrants who were flocking to the gold fields of Northern California.
After a disastrous drought in the 1860s, Stearns lost control of the ranch
which was then sub-let to a number of farmers until the early 1880s when
John Bixby, a cousin of Jotham Bixby and Llewellyn Bixby who controlled the
adjacent Rancho Los Cerritos, bought the rancho along with a group which
included his cousins and Isais Hellman, the founder of the Farmers and
Merchant Bank and later the president of Wells Fargo Bank. Hellman was
without a doubt, the pre-iminent banker of the era on the West Coast.

Trying to capitalize on the 1880s Southern California land boom, John Bixby
developed the townsite of Alamitos Beach (which would eventually be
assumed by Long Beach). Before Bixby, a very clever and entrepreneurail
sort, could do much more, he died suddenly in 1888 (apparently an
appendicitis attack) and the rancho was separated between the three major
parties -- The developed Alamitos Beach properties were shared
equally, while of the rest of the rancho, John Bixby's heirs kept the
central section, the Bixby cousins from Rancho Los Cerritos assumed control
of the northern portion of the rancho, and Hellman took control of the
southern lands around present Seal Beach. Unfortunately, a financial crisis
prevented the various parties from seriously pursuing John Bixby's dream of
developing Alamitos Beach.
The Bixbys had once flirted with sugar beet production on their Northern
California properties. Now in the still financially struggling 1890s, Jotham
Bixby arranged to provide land for sugar beet production and recruited the
capital of William Clark (one of the richest men in the United States,
thanks to his ownership of Montana and Arizona Silver Mines, as well as some
railroads) to build a sugar beet processing plant on a portion of the Bixby
rancho property. [In 1899, Clark would eventually blatantly buy an election
to become a Montana senator and then resign a couple months later before the
Senate officially voided his election.]

The community that grew up around the sugar beet factory complex -- with its
streets of company houses for workers and surrounding farms -- came to be
called Los Alamitos. (As part of his arrangement, Clark and his
brother H. Ross, who actually ran the Los Alamitos operation, also
arranged to purchase 8,000 acres (32 km˛) of land north of the sugar plant
-- most of it in the Rancho Los Cerritos boundaries -- that would eventually
become the city of Lakewood. Also, Clark and Hellman were intricately
involved with the machinations and corporate dealings of railroad tycoon H.H.
Harriman and Henry Edwards Huntington and the destiny of the Southern
Pacific in Southern California. In additions, some time after establishing
Los Alamitos, the Clarks completed their railroad from Los Angeles to
Salt Lake City, establishing the desert stop of Las vegas in the process.
Old photos tell the story of an emerging city. There are pictures of
recreational facilities the company started for its workers. And there are
pictures from the early 1900s of sugar beets being delivered to the factory
by horse and wagon. Economics, combined with an insect infestation in 1921
caused sugar-beet crop failure and the eventual demise of the sugar industry
in Los Alamitos. But the town that had sprung up continued to grow.

On the lands south of the factory, Fred Bixby, son of John Bixby and future
member of the Cowboy Hall of Fame, used the sugar beet lands as a finishing
ranch to fatten cattle before sending them off to slaughter. [He also
managed Hellman's lands in present Seal Beach]. Bixby, one of the more
progressive ranchers of his time, allowed European immigrant Mexican, and
Japanese farmers to rent the land and grow crops. At the beginning of World
War II, the Japanese farmers were rounded up and relocated to interment
camps at Manzanar and elsewhere.
Just prior to and during early World War II, the area around Los Alamitos
became a major center for the aircraft industry. The Clark heirs arranged
for Donald Douglas to build a major plant adjacent to the airport in
Lakewood and Long Beach. Soon after the Navy decided it wanted the level
ground just south of Los Alamitos for its training field, which it
moved from Terminal Island. The new base provided many jobs and spurred
modest growth. In 1973, the base was designated an Armed Forces Reserve
Center. Today, it is a reserve support center for units of the Army, Navy,
National Guard and Marines.
Many former military personnel chose to stay on in Los Alamitos after
the war, living in such neighborhoods as Carrier Row, where streets are
named for World War II aircraft carriers. Other than "the base" the area
remained unchanged until 1956 when builder Ross Cortese purchased land to
build the walled community of Rosssmoor just southwest from the townsite of
Los Alamitos. Rossmoor. still the largest single development in
Orange County, was the first walled community in the United States and
quickly became home to over 10,000 upper middle class professionals.
Rossmoor's homes were designed by the world-famous architect-designers Cliff
May and Chris Choate who were among the men most responsible for designing
and popularizing the "ranch" style homes which dominated the suburban
explosion of the 1950s.
Los Alamitos Computer Networking
Although Rossmoor never officially became part of Los Alamitos
proper, it has become inextricably linked to the town. When Los Alamitos
incorporated in 1960 its population was only about 3,400, while
still-growing Rossmoor was nearing 10,000. Now they are fairly equal with
Los Alamitos being slightly larger than 11,000, and Rossmoor just below
that. Rossmoor, still an unincorporated part of Orange County,
doesn't pay taxes to Los Alamitos, but the city virtually treats
Rossmoor residents as if they were residents. In exchange, the city's many
youth programs benefit from the overwhelming number of Rossmoor residents
who volunteer for those programs, and homes in Los Alamitos get a
significant increase in property values because of their proximity to
Rossmoor.
The ambitious sugar-beet processor of today would be hard pressed to set up
shop in Los Alamitos. Zoning laws keep out heavy manufacturing or
industry, because nearly all the city land is developed. The Armed Forces
Reserve Center takes up 48 percent of the city's 4.3 square miles. The rest
of the city is a snug fitting mix of homes, apartments, businesses and open
space.
The small city has been the hometown for a number of noted athletes
including Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby, and many major league baseball
players, including Andy Messersmith, who challenged baseball's reserve
clause and helped established free agency in professional sports . At one
point in the late 1980s, six natives of Rossmoor and Los Alamitos were
playing baseball in the major leagues -- Robb Nen, J.T. Snow, Greg Harris,
Dennis Lamp, Greg Pirkl, and Mike Kelly. The area is also home to record
holding long distance swimmer Lynne Cox. It was also home to California
Supreme Court Chief Justice Malcolm Lucas while he served on the Court, and
to award-winning mystery writer Jan Burke.
Los Alamitos High School, which serves the communities of Los Alamitos,
Rossmoor and Seal Beach, is a nationally recognized high school, whose
reputation has been further enhanced by its success in sports. Through the
1990s and early 2000s, the football team was consistently nationally ranked
and at one point went over 45 games without a loss. Its 2005 girls soccer
team won the mythical national championship, and its tennis and volleyball
teams have had extraordinary success.
