THE LOVELY BROADMOOR NEIGHBORHOOD OF SAN LEANDRO

"THE BROADMOOR"

Located in the famed garden belt, San Leandro was a great center of floriculture in the 1800's. Flowers grown here in orchards and hothouses were sweet peas, camellias, gardenias, orchids as well as cherry and apricot trees. At one time it was a $10,000,000 industry supplying flora to places and events such as the Pasadena Parade.

The Oakland firm of Breed and Bancroft had been developing a tract, north of Dutton Ave, which they named "Broadmoor". After a struggle to get all the land north of the creek annexed into the school district they formally opened the development in 1908.
