BRWN MAWR

Brwn Mawr is now all but gone. Post office, a few original homes are all that remain of the community. It is being eaten alive by Loma Linda and cracker box homes.

This was an attempt to get people to buy lots and settle south of Mound City. Very few homes were built in this area until the 1970's. Almost all of this area was citrus groves for most of the twentieth century.

Bryn Mawr is located on the ex-Southern Pacific mainline between Los Angeles, CA and Yuma, AZ, a few miles east of Colton, CA. The main highway crossing of the SP tracks in Bryn Mawr is Barton Road. An SP valuation map from the 1900s shows two packing houses, Fuller and Son and Bryn Mawr Oranges, on the southwest side of the tracks north of Barton Road

By 1985 the only thing left from the packing house was the foundations, but the spur was still there. The smudge oil tanks north of the packing house lasted until just recently

These foundations were destroyed in 2007 to make way for a building.
