Description
This circa 1953 photograph shows the El Rancho Trailer Village at 1200 East El Camino Ave. The 6-acre park opened in the spring of 1949 with space for 130 trailers. Features included underground power lines, a buzzer system to each trailer, playgrounds, a self-service laundry, and a recreation area. Upon opening, the $100,000 development was given the highest rating from several national trailer associations. It was landscaped to match a ranch-style motif. In the background is the Swanston meat packing plant of North Sacramento.
