CHAPTER V AN OLD COUNTY BUSINESS DIRECTORY
LARGE LAND OWNERS OF 1876-BUSINESS DIRECTORY OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP-OF ALAMEDA TOWNSHIP-OF EDEN TOWNSHIP-OF BROOKLYN TOWNSHIP-OF MURRAY TOWNSHIP-OF WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP
LARGE LAND OWNERS OF 1876
A business directory of Alameda County for this day would require a book of considerable size. Not so, however, for 1876, fifty-two years ago. The author has been fortunate to discover an old business direc- tory of 1876, arranged by townships. It contains the names of many prominent pioneers of the county whose names are closely connected with the earlier modern history of the county, and many of whom have descendants still residing here. This directory shows when these early pioneers came to the state and to the county, and also gives the number of acres owned by those engaged in farming. Some of the largest land owners in Oakland township were Francisco Galindo, with 3,400 acres; Sheriff H. N. Morse, 1,011 acres ; J. H. McCourtney, 300 acres ; S. E. Alden, 300 acres; Berryman & Chapman, the real estate dealers, 637 acres; John C. Hays, 1,000 acres; E. A. Haines, the Oakland cap- italist, 133 acres; Walter Blair, 240 acres; James McGee, 115 acres; Michael Higgins, 113 acres; Christian Baggie, 180 acres; and Michael Curtis, 90 acres.
The largest land owners in Alameda township were A. Mecartney, the Alameda capitalist, who owned 450 acres on Bay Farm Island; Conrad Liese, the butcher, 211 acres; B. Benedict, 47 acres; Henry Bowman, 40 acres; Asaph Cleveland, 64 acres; Henry Robinson, 43 acres; and H. H. Haight, 42 acres.
The largest land owners of that time in Brooklyn township were Richard Dowling, 606 acres; Nicholas Devereux, 280 acres; L. B. Huff, 900 acres; W. P. Towler, 379 acres; John Mathews, 550 acres;
