Lincoln Park that's right folk's this is Lincoln Park way back in the day, looking north. I wouldn't doubt that this picture was taken early 1900's. Hardly see any houses, back then it was mostly groves, so there was a lot of open space. But the south part of Pomona was growing. So I guess you can call the people now that live around Lincoln Park a bunch of Johnny come Lately Folk's. I mean if your going to talk about Pomona let's talk about it as a hole, not just one neighborhood.
Because there is a lot more history in Pomona that doesn't get that much attention. For instance did you know that Walter Knott use to live in Pomona on W. Fourth St. here is a picture of the house and still there to this day. Maybe if it was on the north side it would get more attention and put on the Historic List. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO the powers at be seems like they look the other way, I've been talking about the house for years, but I guess to death ears.
By the way for those who don't know who Walter Knott is, same person who started Knott's Berry Farm along with his wife lived here, before the famous farm.
