Haight Elected Governor and Alameda's Early Growth
History of Alameda's early development notes real estate promoters underpinned population growth while A. A. Cohen promoted the first railroad from Alameda to Hayward. By 1869 The Encinal described town expansion, schools, a growing population, and a summer hotel era, leading to Haight’s rise as governor and later civic roles.
