Historical Map of Santa Barbara, CA - 1898
Description
The city of Santa Barbara became part of the United States in 1848, and during the next decade the city saw their population more than double due to the California Gold Rush. A railroad connecting Santa Barbara and Los Angeles was completed in 1887.
Illustrated on this map is the famous Arlington Hotel which was a luxurious three-story, 90 room complex built in 1875 on State Street between Victoria and Sola streets. The entire building fell victim to an immense fire in 1909.
