How La Paz Apartments was built
La Paz is Spanish for peace, and it is also the name of a Baja California port and a Bolivian capital, so the sign has always been open to interpretation. What is certain is the building: 115 homes on four and a half acres fronting Brookhurst Street, put up in 1969.
That was the decade Fountain Valley changed completely. It had been the farm settlement of Talbert, named for a family that bought over 300 acres of peat and swampland here around 1896 and opened a general store, with a post office from 1899 and Pacific Electric cars running through from 5 July 1909. Sugar beets grown on this flat went to the refineries at Huntington Beach and Delhi.
