How Sycamore Garden Condos was built
Sycamore Gardens was built on Newport Avenue in 1964 and holds a hundred homes. The name is a local one rather than a marketing one. When C.E. Utt started school here in 1874 the district was called Sycamore School District, and he believed it got that name because there were more sycamore trees around Tustin than in all the rest of the valley. Most of them are long gone.
The schoolhouse Utt walked into was a gift from Columbus Tustin himself, a little white building under a sycamore a few feet from where the Tustin grammar school still stands. Tustin, a carriage maker from Petaluma, had bought into the old Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana with Nelson O. Stafford in 1868 and laid out his townsite around 1870, giving lots away free to anyone who would build.
