This subdivision, located midway between Hawthorne and Belvidere, opened June 17, 1906. It is served by three car lines. Only a few miles from Redondo where vast sums are being spent in public improvements. It is right in the track of the fastest development and value advance today. Its climate is ideal.
Every lot has a fruit or a nut tree.
There are graded streets and fine water. W One unusual feature, even for 1906, was the solid hedge of cypress trees surrounding Belvidere. However, this town did not grow rapidly. As years passed, it settled deeper into slumber. Only in the postwar years has El Nido become the rapidly growing community it was supposed to be fifty years ago.
