This film
transports viewers through time as the history of Los
Gatos, California, comes alive with the juxtaposition of digitally
enhanced historic photographs and matching high-definition video of Los
Gatos today.
Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains at the cut of Cats’
Canyon, Los Gatos attracted gold diggers, lumberjacks, oil drillers, outlaws
and artists. Witness the celebrations and tragedies of a young frontier
town - the devastating fires that forged its features, the ebullient parades,
picnics and pageants that signaled its joy, the notorious crimes that
darken its past, and the remarkable innovators who found inspiration in
the lovely landscape.
Rare film footage from the early twentieth century shows a stagecoach
rumbling along Old Santa Cruz Highway, trolleys trundling through town,
travelers at the train depot, and automobiles racing along the new, sixteen
foot wide "Boulevard to the Pacific."
Los Gatos was a railroad town, playing a prime role in one of the world’s
greatest fruit-growing regions. The valley has since been transformed,
but the natural beauty and vibrant character of its people continue to
perpetuate the unique spirit of Los Gatos.
