IN
ECHO PARK,
CALIFORNIA
Echo Park and its lake have always
been a touchstone for the community that grew up around it.
Initially, the area we now know as the
park was a natural arroyo
that filled with water from a spring-fed stream that
originated at Baxter Street and flowed down what is now Echo
Park Avenue. In 1868 the Los Angeles Canal and Reservoir Co.
dammed the arroyo to make a reservoir that aided in powering
a woolen mill at what is now 6th and Figueroa (then known as
Pearl St.) and was to eventually serve local residents,
walnut orchards and vineyards to the south along Alvarado.
The immigrants that worked these orchards and vineyards
settled here and began to build small homes along Sunset
Boulevard, between Echo Park Avenue and Lemoyne Street.
