Ole Hanson to Get His Due--Belatedly
- Share via
The City Council has renewed a declaration made two decades ago to observe Dec. 6 as Ole Hanson Day.
That was the date in 1925 when city founder Ole Hanson broke ground for a settlement.
Members of the San Clemente Historical Society reminded council members this week that in 1975, the date was highlighted but over the years has been forgotten.
Though no special events are planned today to honor the founder, the historical society hopes to organize a special event in January to commemorate it belatedly, group members said.
