1906

Albert Ecke arrived in the Hollywood, California area in 1900, intending a brief stay on the way to Fiji. The Ecke family owned a health spa in Europe, and it was Albert's intent to open a similar business on the island. After a brief visit, and a return trip to Germany, Albert Ecke made his stay in California permanent in 1906 by settling in the Eagle Rock area.

Albert decided to venture into agriculture, establishing a fruit orchard and dairy farm. His real love was flowers, and he dabbled in growing several varieties.
