To Submit an Application
Did
you know that Berkeley Place was initially
part of the 1850 Mexican Government’s
Peters Colony? Or, that Como once included
a beautiful recreation resort with
pavilion, casino and amusement rides? Or
how about the history of Cooke’s Meadow in
which General Ed. Tarrant and his troops
embarked on an expedition to find the
Indians who had been disturbing the peace
of the settlers in that area? They
followed a lone squaw who had been washing
clothes in Village Creek to her camp and
routed the Indians. Get the facts about
