History:
The land that composes today’s city of Whittier, California was once in the hands of Spanish soldier Manual Nieto. In 1784, he received a land grant from the King of Spain as a reward for serving in the military. During the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, Pio Pico owned most of the land of Whittier. After the war, German immigrant Jacob F. Gerkens bought 160 acres of land under the Homestead Act from the United States. As you can see the land was owned by many people until it was founded as a Quaker nation in 1887. The land’s new settlers harvested fruits and vegetables on the land and brought in the right amounts of cultural, political, business and recreational opportunities to create a successful town. Ever since, the atmosphere of Whittier has been conducive to progress and activity.
