As I understand, in 1887, Aquilla Pickering and other prominent Quakers wished to form a new town. After considerable searching, the group formed the Pickering Land and Water Co, and on April 25, 1887, purchased the John M Thomas Ranch for $69,850. The 500 acre ranch was quickly subdivided into house size lots, which lots formed the core of what we now know as uptown Whittier.
