SANTA MONICA: A CALENDAR OF EVENTS IN THE MAKING OF A CITY 2ND EDITION
This fascinating 15-page booklet offers a concise yet rich historical overview of Santa Monica, California, focusing on the pivotal developments from 1769 to 1935. Published in 1935 by the Title Guarantee and Trust Company of Los Angeles, it serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the city's transformation over nearly two centuries. The booklet is edited by W. W. Robinson, a notable figure whose efforts helped preserve and document local history during this era.
The physical condition of the booklet is impressive, being nearly like-new with only slight sunning around the edges, indicating its careful preservation over the decades. Measuring approximately 5 1/2" by 7", the compact size makes it easily portable and a charming collectible for history enthusiasts.
This booklet is the second edition in a broader project by the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, which aims to document the unique histories of various cities within Los Angeles County. The first booklet in this series focused on Long Beach, another important coastal city with a rich background. A third installment is noted as being in preparation, illustrating an ongoing commitment to capturing the evolving stories of these communities.
One of the most valuable features of this booklet is the inclusion of a detailed, two-page "Map of Santa Monica & Vicinity about the year 1891", also prepared by the Title Guarantee & Trust Company in 1935. This map provides a rare glimpse of the geographical layout during a formative period, showcasing key landmarks, transportation routes, and early infrastructure that shaped Santa Monica's growth at the turn of the 20th century.
Key aspects and highlights of the booklet include:
Chronological Summary: Detailed key dates and events that highlight the growth of Santa Monica from a largely undeveloped coastal area into a bustling city by the 1930s.
Historical Context: Insights into the Spanish expeditions of 1769, early settlers, and the role of the city in regional development during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Evolving Infrastructure: Coverage of the establishment of railroads, roadways, and public works that contributed to Santa Monica becoming a vital part of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Social and Cultural Developments: Notes on the city's population growth, community organizations, and recreational facilities that laid the foundation for its cosmopolitan character.
Overall, this booklet is not only a collector’s item for those fascinated by Southern California’s past but also a valuable educational tool that chronicles the transformation of Santa Monica from its earliest days into a thriving coastal city. Its compact form and richly detailed contents make it an essential reference for historians, genealogists, urban planners, and residents alike.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
