Pico represents an earlier time period and had no role in developing 20th century Los Angeles. The Gettys can claim the estate/museum that sits grandly in Malibu, but that's about it, and I don't think it existed before the 1970s.
@@chewybunz I disagree with your comment about Pico not having any role in 20th Century Los Angeles. He was in charge when the large ranchos in Southern California were being doled out to American land owners before statehood. Without that, who knows how California develops? Is it a direct connection? No, but you're right, he doesn't fit this particular video's theme.
Great doc. Though it tells the story of the money of Los Angeles, it is true a small number of families did the lions share of the building of the city of Angeles just drive around now they are the name of streets and towns and neighborhoods Sepulveda Mullholland Burbank Olvera Verdgo Lankershim And others
Those families are important, too, but the narrator is talking about the Gilded Age, which is a certain time period in history. Pio Pico's history is much earlier.
Precisely. Families from Sinaloa, Sonora, and other parts of Mexico founded Los Angeles. Even if it isn't the focus, the origin and actual name of the city (El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Ángeles..) should not have been glossed over.
Massive fields of wooden oil derricks in LA persisted into the 50's. By the 60's they were gone. I think the derricks in Hunnington Beach were gone by the 70's.
‘Opulent’ is a good word, but it loses its effect when you say it over, and over, again. There are a lot of repetitive superlatives throughout. Maybe you need an editor or a thesaurus. Good stuff otherwise.
My great grandfather, gg grandfather and my papa (grandpa) were also an incredibly rich oil family. Signal Hill and Huntington were a huge part of our family’s property portfolio. As a child I called the derricks “horsies”. Ha! My family had their oil company since 1880.
@@danielcantu2388 how in the world were you in the closet? After the gunfire it took Ned’s wife 45 minutes to check what happened. And she was in the room next door - the music room.
My grandfather was an operator at big creek powerhouse, build for operating the red cars in Los Angeles by HE Huntington. My Grandmother made him quit after one of the other operators was killed by somehow getting across one of the lines. I was told that all they found after were his shoes!😲😲
The "Gilded Age" was end of the Civil war until about 1902 before cars really - I think we can say L.A. is totally different age - part of the roaring 20s perhaps or maybe we could call it the Hollywood Age?
I’m amused at how this video reflects the stereotypical LA style: only including those that out-slutted real talent, marginalizing any real talent (that actually stitched random meaningless things together to form something that, for many reasons, still lacks that vital center known as a heart) and THEN completely ignoring anyone that laid the groundwork for all of it to happen. Now do a real city like Cleveland.
@@OldMoneyDocumentaries anyone not related by blood or marriage to anyone featured in this video, which keeps with LA stereotypes. I understand that it’s due to the nature of the subject matter of your channel. Respectfully, I found it amusing. It’s unfortunate that you chose to only question “real talent” and continued to ignore those that laid the groundwork. That decision was all on you, but still very much LA-behavior except not as amusing. Even though you didn’t ask, the Pico family was old money and LA wouldn’t exist without them.
@@peckishpagan - Sounds like a bunch of claptrap and poppycock. If the Pico family was actually important, they'd be featured. They didn't, so they aren't. If you want them featured so badly, make your own documentary and stop acting like some snarky privileged liberal.
My question is how did they these lands? They belonged to native Americans. Are these stolen lands? I'm sure they just came and took whatever they wanted
These lands had all originally been land grants from Spain to reward certain families for their contributions. But as the years went on these families could no longer manage these properties and with the changes afoot coming into the 20th century , were forced to sell to pay the tax bills. That's where these profiled families come into the picture. The indigenous peoples (Chumash and many, many others) had long ago been subjugated by the Spanish Empire through the Mission system.
The Getty’s and Pio Pico should be covered too

Take a shot every time this guy says “DOHENY” during this 😂
Great doc. Though it tells the story of the money of Los Angeles, it is true a small number of families did the lions share of the building of the city of Angeles just drive around now they are the name of streets and towns and neighborhoods
Sepulveda
Mullholland
Burbank
Olvera
Verdgo
Lankershim
And others
What about those that came even earlier? Like Mexican Pio Pico who was born in LA and was governer of California when it was still owned by mexico
Those families are important, too, but the narrator is talking about the Gilded Age, which is a certain time period in history. Pio Pico's history is much earlier.
You know they aren’t trying to go there.

This video helps answer questions I thought about while driving around Socal

Love this California history. I always wondered where the street name Doheny came from
Great documentary. Was hoping you’d also include Lucky Baldwin.

Likely AI scripted. Notoriously repetitive. Likely bot narration as well. Pauses in strange places. This is not good stuff.

Will you marry me?
I called them horsies, too, on the Oxnard plain.
And now you type comments on UA-cam videos

Sounds like Edward Doheny found out what it’s like to get ahead of J. D. Rockefeller.
Graystone is super, SUPER haunted. We all had very uncomfortable experiences there.
Do tell
I found hidden paper clippings in the closet of the library where Ned was shot by his male secretary. The boys wing is eerie

Thank you for your documentation. A great work with so many interesting details.
Nice documentary. The eleven labs narration voice is pleasant to listent to.
$100 million? JD Rockefeller had more than 10X that. Doheney was a pimple next to Rockefeller!! 😂😂😂😂
Imagine 100m next to you 😂😂 Rockefeller doesn’t even know you so stop thinking you’re a part of that group💩💩💩😂😂😂😂
Very good documentary
Thanks!
What about Pio Pico?
We were Never a Territory in California
Surf City USA is NOT Huntington Beach. It is Haleiwa on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii.🤙
Well done!
Thanks Lady Barbara!
@@OldMoneyDocumentaries Your documentary is truly insightful, allowing us to understand the intricate weave and warp of finance, industry and culture.
The "Gilded Age" was end of the Civil war until about 1902 before cars really - I think we can say L.A. is totally different age - part of the roaring 20s perhaps or maybe we could call it the Hollywood Age?
But as the doc points out, it was the Gold Rush that started it all beginning in 1843.
@@selecttravelvacations7472 yes - so LA is really really not part of the Gilded Age.
Oh it started when they stole land from the Mexican who were here before them. I want that documentary
Are any of the automobiles left
Money from USA California is no OLD Money. Mexican California would and is if descendants of those families still exist.
What?

Land belongs to the conquerors. Cry about it all u want. White men built this nation.
It was an age of expansion the land belonged to who ever could keep it. The natives could not…. So they didn’t
Colonization, stealing the lands, and displacing the native people.
These lands had all originally been land grants from Spain to reward certain families for their contributions. But as the years went on these families could no longer manage these properties and with the changes afoot coming into the 20th century , were forced to sell to pay the tax bills.

My question is who taught you grammar?
Built….lol. Try pico, ybarra….
I think it is great that these people were innovators and made los Angeles better however these are stolen lands.
Read history. All lands shift to conquerors from those who can’t keep them, since time immortal.
