Los Angeles County ledger recording commercial licenses
Manuscripts
A ledger recording commercial licenses issued by the County of Los Angeles between 1852 and 1855. The licenses are for selling general merchandise; operating a restaurant; selling wine and liquor; and being a foot peddler. For each license granted, the ledger records the date of transaction, period of the license (mostly only good 3-6 months), person to whom it was granted, and fee paid to the County. Only 25 pages of the ledger are used, but they record about 400 transactions and seem to be a complete record of the period May 1852 to May 1855.
