The restored home of
Huntington Beach pioneers,
Mr. & Mrs. W.T. Newland is
an 1898 Victorian farmhouse
standing on high ground
overlooking what was once
known as the Santa Ana Gap,
a marshy lowland between
Huntington Beach and Costa
Mesa. William and Mary
Newland built the house and
lived in it for over fifty
years.
Midwesterners like the
Newlands, who were from
Illinois, were attracted to
California during the "Boom
of the Eighties," when Los
Angeles experienced
phenomenal growth. Increased
opportunities for farming as
huge ranchos were
subdivided, reduced railroad
fares because of a rivalry
between Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe Railroads and an
intensive publicity campaign
by Real Estate developers
were contributing factors to
the migrations.
The Newlands purchased
the mesa now known as
Newland Center around 1897.
Located at Beach Boulevard
and Adams Avenue in
Huntington Beach, the house
pictured above was their
home. The hill top location
offers a stunning view of
Huntington Beach.
Hours: Saturday & Sunday
Noon - 4 PM, except
holidays. Small donation
