California Centennial Cities 2015
Pictured are 2015 Centennials in Amador City, Seal Beach, Delano and Gustine
Of the 482 cities in California four are celebrating centennials in 2015. How are they enjoying their 100 years of incorporation?
SEAL BEACH: Seal Beach hoped for a float in the 2015 Rose Parade but was unable to raise the funds for participation. Later in the year a festival and parade are planned to commemorate the beach that once had an amusement park with thrill rides.
DELANO: Delano began the year with a ball and anticipates an exciting unveiling of Delano Downtown Breezeway Project with murals depicting historical moment and scenes.
GUSTINE: Merced County Museum announced that Gustine will be one of two county-wide celebrations July 30 – Sept. 27 (the other is El Nido School.)
AMADOR CITY: Amador City was incorporated in June 1915 but like so many municipalities its history contains significant, much older moments events such as the gold rush. With a mere 200 residents, the state’s smallest city for land area (less than one-third square mile) hasn’t listed any events on the city calendar, nor is there mention on this month’s City Council agenda.
