i PREFACE i
i i
i The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the w
1. products of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated as a W
I nationawide project of the Works Progress Administration from Ian— N
i uary 1. 1936 to June 30. 1937, and has been continued in California i
i since that time as a state project of that Administration. '1
i‘ The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows: i
i Series I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey, I
I acknowledgments, and general discussions of the location, condi— i
1 tion, and content of federal archives in the states. Succeeding i
i serieS‘contain the detailed information secured by workers of the i
i Survey, in inventory form, a separate series number being assigned d
i to each of the executive departments (except the Department of i
1 State) and other major units of the Federal Government. Within i
i each series No. 1 is a general introduction to the field organiza— i
3 tion and records of the governmental agency concerned; the succeed— R
; ing numbers contain the inventory proper, separate numbers being W
i assigned to each state in alphabetical order. Thus, in each series, if
1 the inventory for Alabama is No. 2, that for Arizona No. 3, that for ,I
1 Arkansas No. 4, etc; ‘ t
1 For each local office information regarding each series, or unit 1
, of related records, is presented in the following order: title, i
i inclusive dates ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the 1d
i information was secured), general description of informational con- i
1 tent, description of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a W
‘ statement of frequency and purpose of use, form of the record M
1 itself (bound volumes, sheets in folders, etc.), linear footage, 1
5 description of the containers, physical condition of the records 1i
I (not stated if satisfactory), location by room number or other 11
1 identifying information, and finally, the number of the Form 588A i
1 on which this information was originally recorded by a Survey worker mi
1 and from which it was abstracted for the Inventory. This form is i
: on file in The National Archives. When it contains substantial in- w
I formation on addenda sheets which has not been included in the mimeo- i
i graphed abstract, indication of this is given by use of the reference ii
;* "See addenda." fl
,/ In California the work of the Survey was under the direction of 1H
, Nb. Charles L. Stewart, Regional Director for California and Nevada, %
i from its inception until June 30, 1937. From that time until Septem— .1
k her 1, 1937, the work was under the supervision of Drs. Thelma Ziemer, ii
State Director of the Historical Records Survey. Since then nr. Cyril i”
r E. PaQuin has been in charge of the state project. The maps were pre— 1
pared by Mr. Paul O'Bryne, a member of the San Francisco staff. This ii
1- inventory of the records of the Federal Courts in California was pre— 1d
3 Pared in the San Francisco office of the Survey and was edited before i
final typing by Dr. G. Philip Bauer of the Division of Independent i
Agencies Archives of The National Archives. i

INTRODUCTION

1 Extension of the United States judiciary over California was 1
first provided for by an act of Congress dated September 28, (
1850. Under the terms of this act the state was divided into two 5
districts, with the 57th parallel of north latitude demarking their "
separation. A district court was to be created for each district; ‘
that of the northern district to sit at San Francisco, San Jose, (
: Stockton, and Sacramento and that of the southern district at i
% Monterey and Los Angeles. No circuit courts were immediately pro- (
vided for, but as usual when a new area was brought within the i
, ‘ Federal court system, the district courts were given an augmented (
jurisdiction. Besides their ordinary powers, they were vested with (
authority to hear all civil cases, rising within their respective 1
limits, which would normally come under the cognizance of a circuit 3
court. And corresponding criminal jurisdiction Was granted on (
February 26, 1853. In addition, it had been enacted on March 3, i
1851 that decisions of the land claims commission in the state 1
should be subject to review by the district courts. (
Judge Ogden Hoffman opened the first session of court for the (
northern district at San Francisco on May 19, 1851. Judge James (
M. Jones was appointed to serve on the bench in the southern dis— (
trict December 26, 1850, the first session to be held at Monterey (
in June, 1851. Because of illness Judge Jones never qualified. E
The first judge to serve in the southern district was Hon. Isaac (
S. K. Ogier, who received his appointment January 25, 1854, and I
the first session was held in Los Angeles July 24, 1854. By an ‘
act of January 18, 1854 sessions at San Jose, Stockton and Sacra— ‘
mento were abolished. ,
On March 2, 1855 an act was approved constituting California 1
a judicial circuit and providing for the appointment of a special (
circuit judge, who should exercise an authority analogous to that !
of the Supreme Court justices on circuit. All the extraordinary (
jurisdiction of the district courts, except that of land claims (
appeals, was revoked. San Francisco was at first designated as L
the single seat of this new court, but on April 30, 1856 it was ?
, provided that sessions should also be regularly held at Los Angeles
though all records wore still to be kept at San Francisco. 1
Under the terms of an act of March 5, 1865, the special cir- j
cuit court of California was abolished; and its powers and duties
were turned over to a regularly constituted circuit court, to which
1 one of the justices of the Supreme Court was to be assigned. No 1
change was made, however, in the places for holding the court until
, February 19, 1864, when an act of Congress transferred the seat of p
both district and circuit courts for the southern district from y
Los Angeles to Monterey. On July 27, 1866 the southernjudicial
district was abolished and for the next twenty years San Francisco-
remained the exclusive seat of federal justice in the state.

i A significant addition to the circuit court's jurisdiction was -

i made in 1870 when it was enacted that appeals from the consular

i courts in China and Japan or from the United States ministers to ‘
those countries should lie to the circuit court for the district
of California. ,

On August 5, 1886 an act was approved once more dividing the j

I state into two districts.1 Los Angeles again became the seat of ;
both circuit and district courts for the southern district while y
San Francisco continued to be the seat for the northern district. 1
All the court records existing at the time remained in care of the V
clerk of the northern district.

On May 29, 1900 the counties of Inyo, Mariposa, and Merced were i
detached from the northern district and annexed to the sauthern :
district, which, moreover, was split into two divisions, with )

‘ court seats at Fresno and Les Angeles respectively. The clerk's )
office and all records of the courts for both divisions were to y
be kept at Los Angeles. i

On June 29, 1906 an act was approved directing that a term of )
both district and circuit courts for the northern district should i
be regularly held at Eureka. Another act of June 22, 1910 provided )
that sessions of both courts should also be held at Sacramento for i
the northern district and at San Diego for the southern division of H

, the Southern district though the records of the courts for the south- H
ern division of the southern district should still be kept exclusive— )
1y at Los Angeles. )

April 15, 1919 the California legislature approved an act ceding )
to the United States exclusive jurisdiction over Yosemite, Sequoia ‘ i

v and General Grant national parks. Congress, by act of June 2, 1920, ;
Specified that Yosemite Natibnal Park should constitute a part of l
the northern judicial district, and Sequoia and General Grant )
National Parks a part of the southern judicial district. The same i
act provided for a resident United States commissioner at Yosemite a
National Park and one to jointly administer Sequoia and General
Grant National Parks, also empowering them to hear and act upon any ;
violations of the law which might be committed within the parks' E
boundaries. L

_________.______________ i
l. The southern district was to comprise the counties of San
Diego, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San i
Luis Obispo, Fresno, Tulare, and Kern. All the remaining counties )
went to form the northern district. “
2. The northern division comprised the counties of Inyo, Mariposa, E
Tulare, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, and Kern. The southern div— 3
ision was to include the remaining counties of Los Angcles, Orange, E
Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, 1
and Ventura. 1

E On May'lé, 1916, the northern district was divided into two E
i divisions,:L sessions to be held for the northern division at' E
: Sacramento and Eureka, for the southern division at San Francisco. E
No further change in the organization of the northern district was E
made up to the time of the survey. But the southern district, by I
‘ an act of March 1, 1929, was reorganized into three instead of two i
: divisions: a northern division with its seat at Fresno;2 a central E
‘ division with its seat at Los Angeles; and a southern division L
‘ with its seat at San Diego.4 y
