As the San Gabriel Valley Greenway Network begins to take shape with walk/bike paths being built along channelized waterways in Pomona and Baldwin Park , SBLA is taking a look at how the Valley's creek system played a role in shaping its settlement and infrastructure. This post specifically focuses on San Jose Creek, with a historical perspective from Paul Spitzzeri, director of the Workman-Temple Homestead Museum in the City of Industry. The Homestead Museum is an institution that pays tribute to two families who developed the area in the 1800s, their preserved homes and graveyard, and the region's history at large.
