Title	Puente blacksmith
Collection ID	Security Pacific National Bank Collection
Location/Accession	S-004-030 4x5; La Puente-Shops and stores.
Physical Description	1 photograph :b&w
Description	Six men and a horse-drawn carriage seen outside of a blacksmith and horsehoer in Puente. The sign above the business reads, "General Blacksmithing, practical all work guaranty, horseshoing, Fred Braum." Three of the men have been identified as: George Cross, Ed McCaige and Bernando Rowland.; Despite La Puente's fairly recent incorporation in 1956, the community is recorded to have begun in the 1840s when European settlers arrived at the 48,000 acre Rancho La Puente. The name's history goes back to Gaspar de Portola`'s 1769 expedition, when members of the team built a bridge (Puente) over San Jose Creek, during a survey of the land for Spain. In old Spanish, Puente followed the feminine artcle La, whereas nowdays, the noun follows El, hence "La Puente" instead of El Puente.
