Dedication
n the back of the City Council Chambers at
Santa Clarita City Hall hangs a large plaque
Ithat recognizes our City founders. Of the 189
names listed, some of those people still reside here,
some have passed away, others have moved on to
different communities - but all forever carry the
badge of honor that rightfully belongs to them as
creators of the City of Santa Clarita.
The plaque reads: "In Special Recognition of
the Pioneers of the City of Santa Clarita. For
possessing the foresight, vision, and the dream
of self-government for the residents of the Santa
Clarita Valley. For unselfishly giving numerous
hours of time, talent and effort to assist in the
realization of this goal; and for putting into
positive action your faith and determination to
preserve the principles of self-government for the
future well-being of the citizens of this valley and
the City of Santa Clarita.
With heartfelt thanks and appreciation from the
City Council and the City of Santa Clarita. ---
December 17, 1988."
th
Now, upon the 20 anniversary of cityhood, this
book is dedicated to these pioneers for their love
of this community, their perseverance in the quest
for home rule, and their determination to see it
through.
