Alfred Dolge, a German-born industrialist, arrived in California sometime soon after departing New York in 1898. By 1904 he developed a manufacturing town called Dolgeville, which became Southern California's first experiment in city planning for the working class. Sorry but Dolgeville just does not have a classy ring to it. I went to Alhambra High just a few blocks from this area. Cheryl Tiegs, famous model, attended AHS.*

Evidently "Dolgeville" is now a part of Alhambra. Read all about old Dolge here and Cheryl below that. My sister knew Cheryl but I never met her.:
