1 Mar 1875

The new capitol was nearing completion. President Stanford and his Cabinet were deciding what the name the city. New Washington… Jefferson… New Athens… These were a few of the names being considered. The President had targeted 25 Oct 1875 to officially declare the new city as opened. This corresponded with the date that had traditionally become the Grand Railroad Expansion date. Anticipating that the Grand Railway of the South would be connected to Texas by the end of summer, the Commander-in-Chief of Texas, U.S. Grant was invited to the inauguration of the new city. The teams in the Pacific Coast League began preparations for a new season. Many of the players were coming back to their teams from their off-season labors. Only the highest paid players in the league could afford not to work in the Off-Season.
