Central canyon history[edit]

If you type "Seabury Lane, Los Angeles, CA" into Google maps you will see that you are in the middle of what looks like a large tract development.^[1] There's a grid of streets and lots. Only a few of those were developed and even with the developed streets Google has some intersecting, etc. that don't in reality.

From what I recall, at one time a food company (Kelloggs?) had bought that part of the canyon, created the divisions you can see on today's Google map, and gave away the lots in a contest. Many of the lots were too small for a normal house meaning people would buy and consolidate several lots to build in the area.

It's possible the development was built out and then destroyed in a fire such as in 1959 or 1961. I lived there as a child in the early 1970s and there were many foundations in the hills where the houses had burned and never been replaced.

I looked in Google News from 1/1/1500 to 1/1/1930 but did not see anything meaning reliable sources for this bit of history would be from on or after 1/1/1930 and before 1/1/1970. --Marc Kupper|talk 22:51, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
