His Branch Of The Family Were Among The Founders And Developers Of The Region. At The End Of 1885, Newmark Retired From The Grocery Business To Devote More Time To His Real Estate And Investment Pursuits. In 1886, He And Four Other Businessmen: His Nephew Kaspare Cohn, John D. Bicknell, Stephen M. White, And I.W. Hellman?Purchased A 5,000-Acre (20 Km2) Ranch Located In East Los Angeles Called Rancho Repetto. The Land Had Been Owned By An Italian Settler Named Alessandro Repetto, Who Had Bequeathed The Ranch To His Brother Antonio. Newmark's Group Bought The Inheritance For Us$60,000, Or About $12 Per Acre. In May 1899, Newmark Subdivided The Tract Owned By Him And His Nephew, After Contracting With William Mulholland To Design And Construct A Suitable Water System For The New Settlement.[9] Accounts Differ As To The Actual Size Of Newmark And Cohn's Parcel, But It Was Somewhere Around 1,200 To 1,500 Acres (6.1 Km2).

The Remaining Land Was Subdivided Into 5-Acre (2.0 Ha) Lots Suitable For Small-Scale Agriculture. The Entire Settlement, Including The Newmark Town Site, Was Given The Name Montebello. When The Town Incorporated In 1920, It Renamed The City As Montebello. Newmark Contributed To Developing Many Local Institutions, Such As The Los Angeles County Library And Others Supporting Children's Welfare. He Wrote A Memoir, Sixty Years In Southern California: 1853-1913, Which Has Been Cited In Dozens Of Academic Papers And Books. It Is Described As The Los Angeles Equivalent Of A Pepys Diary.

This title is one of the important books in the Zamorano Eighty list of books on California and the American West. Octavo rebound in library-type, green buckram. B&W illustrations.
