Santa Paula Farmworker Monument
Building a Legacy One Brick at a Time
About the Monument
The Santa Paula Farmworker Monument was created to honor the countless men and women whose labor has sustained our local and state economies. Dedicated in 2010, it was recognized as the first monument in the United States devoted specifically to farmworkers.
Site Features
- Two bronze statues depicting a male and female farmworker laboring in citrus and row crops.
- A stone wall engraved with over 1,500 names of farmworkers from many backgrounds — Latino, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Dust Bowl migrants.
- A 45-foot plaza with commemorative bricks, benches, and shade trees.
Purpose
The Backstory
- The idea was proposed in 2006 by Albino Pineda, himself a former farmworker, to Latino Town Hall and the Santa Paula City Council.
- With City support, an Ad-Hoc Committee was formed to oversee planning, design, and fundraising.
