His land holdings included the area later known as Chavez Ravine. LifeOrigins and arrival in Los AngelesJulian Antonio Chavez was born in Abiquiu, New Mexico on January 7, 1808, son of Francisco Chavez and Francesca Rosa Verlarde.[1] He is thought to have arrived in Los Angeles in the early 1830s, possibly with one of many trapping parties from New Mexico. The city census of 1836 listed Julian Chavez, aged 27, with a stated occupation of "laborer."[2] Land acquisitionAround that same time he began to acquire real estate, which could be done by simply petitioning the ayuntamiento (a local body similar to a city council) for permission to take possession of unoccupied tracts.[2] In 1844 he was granted a plot of {{convert|83|acre|m2}} about 1½ miles north of downtown Los Angeles, which would become known as Chavez Canyon. During local smallpox outbreaks in 1850 and 1880, the canyon housed an isolation hospital to care for the afflicted. Later renamed Chavez Ravine, it is today the location of Dodger Stadium.[2] Political careerChavez's first political office was that of assistant mayor (suplente alcalde) of Los Angeles in 1838. He served also as a "judge of waters" and later a "judge of the plains," as part of the Court of Sessions, which handled legal matters — mostly on water and cattle disputes.[2] During his final term in 1873 as a member of the Los Angeles Common Council he worked closely on issues with Prudent Beaudry, Henry Dockweiler and William H. Workman. Chavez was elected to the first Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in June 1852. Other members were Jefferson Hunt, Francisco P. Temple, Manuel Requena and Samuel Arbuckle. He served on the seventh board in 1858 and the tenth board in 1861. Family and deathChavez was a widower until he married again, to Maria Luisa Machado on November 4, 1865. She was 22 years his junior, and as a daughter of Ygnacio Machado she came from a long-established family of Los Angeles rancheros.[2] Chavez died of a heart attack on July 25, 1879.[2] References1. ^1 New Mexico Baptisms, Church of Santo Tomas de Abiquiu, Abiquiu, Provincia de Nuevo Mejico, Nueva Espana, vol I, 1754-1811; Extracted by V.L.
