Note:
Members of the Bixby family came to California from Maine during the Gold Rush, subsequently operated a sheep ranch near Hollister,
and later bought land which the cities of Long Beach, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Bellflower, and Paramount now occupy. The
Bixbys were involved in real estate, banking, staging, and ranching, and played a significant role in the development of the
Los Angeles basin.
