The postwar boom saw Arcadia grow rapidly into a suburban residential community, with many of
the chicken ranches being subdivided into home lots. Between 1940 and 1950, the population
grew by more than two and a half times. The housing boom Home Values
continued through the 1950s and 1960s
and along with that growth came the necessary infrastructure of schools, commercial buildings,
and expanded city services.
In 1947, 111 acres that comprised the heart of the Baldwin Ranch were deeded to the State of
California and the County of Los Angeles, to be developed into what is today the beautiful Los
Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden.
Until a Supreme Court ruling
Los Angeles Home Values in 1965, every property sale contract within the borders of Arcadia
had to include a provision that the new owner could only sell the property to a white Protestant,
though many non-Protestant families did, in fact, own homes and live in Arcadia long before that
ruling.
In October 1975, the Santa Anita Fashion morgage rates
Park was opened to the public on the corner of Baldwin
Avenue and Huntington Drive. The center court featured a gigantic blue head by Roy Lichtenstein,
later removed. Now known as Westfield Shoppingtown Santa Anita, the mall was expanded in 2004.
James Dobson, a previous Arcadia resident, founded the nonprofit Christian ministry Focus on the
Family in the city in 1977. Its original office still stands on the south side of Foothill Blvd.
Focus grew to larger quarters in the city, and in intervening years expanded to Monrovia for
warehouse space before moving out of Arcadia completely in 1990.
In the late 1990s, Native American activists threatened to sue Arcadia High School over its use
of the "Apache" mascot. The high school's use of Native American symbols, including an "Apache Joe"
mascot, the Pow Wow school newspaper, the "Apache News" television program, the "Smoke Signals"
news bulletin boards, the school's auxiliary team's marching "Apache Princesses" and opposing
football team fans' "Scalp the Apaches" signs were viewed by these Native American activists and
many Arcadia community members as being offensive. The school consulted with Native American
groups and made some concessions but didn't change the mascot. Some residents of Arcadia, who
are former students at the school and have Native American ancestry, do not take offense to the
school's use of these symbols, including Mortgage
the White Mountain Apaches of Arizona. Arcadia High
School has established good relations with these Apaches with their yearly charity drive to aid them.
