Significance (continued): numbers, beginning in 1908 �nd continuing through 1918. In 1922, Thomas W. Oglesby, a paving contractor, his wife Susie, and children Rebecca and Thomas Junior were living at 423 Edgewood. in 1927, this house became 2410 North Valencia. It is not clear if the house was actually moved to make way for an extension of Valencia or if it was merely renumbered when the street was subdivided. The Taylor -Oglesby House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood, near the present northern city limits of Santa Ana and substantially north of then original city core. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the 1-5 freeway on the southwest. In large port these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and ate the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, To eka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route. This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, `C Street" (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list "rancher or `fruit grower" as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners.
