In 1907, Francis Earnest and Joe Campbell opened a unique attraction in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. The California Alligator Farm boasted over a thousand of the toothy reptiles, from adorable hatchlings to massive adults.
After paying $0.25 for admission, visitors could peruse alligator handbags in the gift shop, watch a trained gator slide down a 16-foot chute or take pictures of their children riding atop the animals. The farm was moved to Buena Park in 1953, and finally closed in 1984.

These men started the California Alligator Farm in Los Angeles, California, in 1907 to breed, showcase, and harvest the reptiles.
