Personal details | |
Political party | Democratic |
John King was an American politician who was president of the Los Angeles, California, Common Council from une 1, 1868 until December 9, 1870. He replaced Murray Morrison, who resigned. In 1865 he served a term on the county grand jury.[1]
Political party
He was a Democrat,[2] but King was also a delegate to an Unconditional Union county convention in Los Angeles on August 5, 1861, "for the purpose of selecting, nominating, and adopting such measures as will secure the election of Union candidates for County offices."[3][4]
Bella Union Hotel
King was at one time the manager of the historic Bella Union Hotel, and in 1862, he formed a partnership with Henry Hammill to lease and again operate the hostelry. A June 4, 1862, article in the Semi-Weekly Southern News said of the affair that: "We are pleased to notice the fact that a large American flag has been hoisted over the house, and we hope that the stigma which has been attached to . . . will be removed, as the present proprietors, though fully realizing their duties as landlords are sound Unionists."[5]
The partnership was dissolved in February 1865, with King retaining ownership on his own.[6]
