This source demonstrates how people viewed the citrus industry as it was developing. It is an early example of a positive reaction to Southern California’s growth that may have enticed people to move to the state.
By-laws of the Yorba Linda Citrus Association, 19 June 1915. Box 1, Folder 7. Local History: Citrus Collection CA4, University Archives and Special Collections. California State University, Fullerton Pollack Library.
This source is an example of the business and cooperative side of the citrus industry. It will help me understand the institution’s perspective in contrast to my other more personal primary sources related to the citrus industry.
Campbell, Ensley J. Community History Project (Orange): Early Orange; and the Citrus Industry. By Milan Pavlovich and Florence Smiley. OH 1507. Oral History Program at California State University, Fullerton, September 1, 1970.
This source is helpful because the narrator discusses his role in the early development of Orange and in citrus ranching. It also includes commentary about several ethnicities living in the city and different aspects that contributed to the success of citrus.

This is one of several relevant photographs from the Orange Public Library and History Center archive. While this image shows Anglo women citrus workers, other photographs identify men, women, Anglos, and Mexicans working in fields and packing houses. The images demonstrate the types of laborers associated with the citrus industry.
Smiley, Florence. Community History Project (Orange): Reminiscences of Early Childhood. By Milan Pavlovich. OH 478. Oral History Program at California State University, Fullerton, August 17, 1970.
This is another oral history that provides a personal and detailed view of Southern California life around the turn of the nineteenth century. This source is useful because it explains the growth of the city of Orange from the perspective of a woman who grew up in Southern California and whose family had migrated to the state.
Additional Source:
Bartley, George. Community History Project (Orange): Constable of El Modena. By Milan Pavlovich and Florence Smiley. OH 477. Oral History Program at California State University, Fullerton, July 2, 1970.
While this source has some information regarding Orange community life, the other two oral histories are more related to my paper. It focuses more on the narrator’s experiences as a constable and a walnut farmer, rather than in citrus.
