Corderos at Santa Barbara in 1880
In 1880 a large number of Cordero families lived in the area east of what is now downtown Santa Barbara. This portion of an 1877 map shows the most likely locations of Cordero families (the 1880 Census does not include addresses). The Cordero individuals and families who did not live in this area in 1880 or whose location was unclear are listed at the bottom of the page. Over the next few years many of the Cordero families outside of the six-block area bounded by Figueroa, Laguna, Canon Perdido, and Anacapa streets would move to that area, especially block 154 (#4). See the attached PDF of the 1892 Sandborn map to see the growth of the area.
