East Alhambra Cache Run-Story Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Eagle Rock Rob: Sadly, this great cache by Jackcheese and Motlah has been muggled. There is some indication that the culprit my be utility workers rather than a careless cacher. In any cache, I can't duplicate it and so it is farewell. The holder is still there if someone wants to be creative.

Geocache Description:

Been to the West side of Alhambra? Come on over to the East side. Read some of the history of Story Park.

In 1883, Francis Q. Story bought a big parcel of land here and started some citrus industry. After allegedly being ripped off by some fruit shippers he helped organize the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange. The growers around here pooled their crops and built their own packing house on the Monrovia rail line and it was in use until 1932.
Story also helped develop the San Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit line that ran from Los Angeles through Alhambra to Monrovia. His influence helped bring Pacific Electric’s streetcar route thru Alhambra on Main Street. Mr. Story also donated the land here for this park bearing his name on Chapel.
The swimming pool has been out of use since one of those earthquakes in the last 25 years and there’s talk about a new senior center and housing down there.
