EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, offers a general view of the picturesque town of Los Gatos nestled in the heart of Santa Clara County, California, USA. The image showcases the unique blend of American architecture and natural beauty that characterized this region during the early 1900s. In the foreground, the Novitiate of the Sacred Heart, a Jesuit establishment, stands proudly with its red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls. The Novitiate, which served as a training ground for young Jesuits, was also home to a vineyard, reflecting the burgeoning wine industry in the area. The Jesuits were not only spiritual leaders but also played a significant role in the agricultural sector, contributing to the region's economic growth. The image also reveals the quaint charm of Los Gatos, with its tree-lined streets, neatly arranged houses, and the serene Los Gatos Creek meandering through the town. The town's name, which translates to 'fat cats' in Spanish, was given due to the abundance of cougars in the area during the early days of settlement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Los Gatos and the Santa Clara Valley, showcasing the unique combination of religious, agricultural, and architectural influences that have shaped this American town.
