and a newspaper.
There are two grammar schools
and one high school with total
enrolment of 700 students in the
grade school, 200 in the high school,
The history of Calipatria has been
highlighted by the steady growth OF
the section and of the population.
In 1880 the population was 1900
and in the 1910 census the popula-
ton of the city had increased to
1874.
The origin of the city's name is
not exactly known, but Will Rogers,
famous humorist offered the best
story during his visit to the north
end city in 1880.
Rogers said that Calipatria was
named after Calvin Coolidge and
Cleopatra and said he was sorry
to see Calvin mixed up with that
woman! Rogers also predicted that
the next town would be named Her
she, after Herbert Hoover and the
Queen OF Sheba.
Calipatrians do not claim the
northend city will ever supplant Ell
Centre as the industrial center Of
the valley nor replace Brawley as
the population center, but north
enders will agree that Calipatria
will match the pace OF progress OF
any area in the county and con-
tinue to contribute its share to the
wealth and income of the valley
farmer.

tural industry.
Newest crops in the northend are
green peas and other tender veget-
ables, which were planted on a
large commercial scale for the first
time this year, as a result of sue
cessful growing OF tomatoes in the
Westmorland area.
More than 1000 acres of green peas
were planted in the Westmorland
area, according to northend grow
ers, and quality OF the crop was
every bit as good as That grown in
other sections of the valley.
Tomatoes, peas and other tender
vegetable crops were first planted
in the Westmorland area few
years ago when it was revealed by
the weather bureau that winter tenn
peratureS in the area were equal to
and in some cases belter suited than
in the Calipatria section.
WeStmorland, known as the Gate
way city of the valley, came into
being in 1910, the center of a 10000
acre development. It's growth was
slow during the first few years but
received an impetus in 1917 when
the branch railroad from Calipatria
was completed.
Packing Center
During the period from :n7 to
1920 Westmorland became the pack
ing center of large acreage of mel
ons and the town boosted a bank,
newspaper, three general stores,
hardware and implement stores,
drug store, meat market, barber
shop, pool hall, two restaurants,
machine shop, blacksmith shop,
two lumber yards and five packing
houses.
Westmorland became an incor-
porated township in March, 1882.
and remained as such until Feb.
1884 when the corporate structure
was dissolved. The town was REIN
corporated in April, 1884 and has
attained that status down through
the years.
AT the present time J. j. Gardner
is mayor of the city and other coun-
ciir1en are ST Waugh, Clarence
johnson. John Taylor and B. H.
Evans. Other city officials include
Elizabeth Cummings, city clerk,
Pete Ostrander, fire chief, Edward
Dickerson, police chief, Jack Miller,
police judge and justice of peace.

becoming busy, Wlde-aWake Guy,
alive TO its problems, its future and
a program to insure the continued
progress of the city.
The present Population of Vest
morland is 1910, somewhat smaller
than it was six years ago, but city
officials will tell you, and show you
statistics to prove that the north
end townsite is on the way out OF
the doldrums that Immediately sue
ceeded the so-cailed depression per-
iod.
Cognizant of the trend toward
better business in northend COM
munities, the WeStmorland popu-
lace has shown a tremendous in
crease III community interest and
has boosted building program with
the result that many new homes
have been constructed in the past
years and several more have been
remodeled.
Flax, Livestock

the valleys watermelon and hay
industries, has branChed out agri-
culturally in the past two years.

velopnlent OF the country between
BraWley and INLAND.
1t rapidly developed into a live
stock and grain growing center of
the valley, became the last frontier
of the cotton industry in the early
1920s, before farmers dreamed of
its value as a center of the winter
vegetable area.
AT the present time Calipatria is
particularly noted for its green pea
crop, though other tender veget-
ables, alfalfa, melons and grapefruit
are grown extensively in the area.
More than 1000 acres of the valleys
total 10000 acre crop of peas were
grown in the Calipatria area this
year.
The Calipatria area is particu-
larly adapted to green pea and ten
der vegetable crops because it is
included in the belt referred to in
the county as the "frostless belt.
Quality of the green peas grown in
the northend is repeatedly unsur-
passed in any other section of the
nation.
The Calipatria of 1941 is a far cry
from the wide place in the road
which was known as Date City back
in 1914 because today the city is the
home OF q retail stores, a bank, five
packing plants, three industrial
plants, lumber YARD, theatre, hotel,
