THE OLDEST GANG AND GANGS IN SD 619

[stickupkidakaBIGBANDIT]

AFTER DOING SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY HOOD OTNC IS THE OLDEST GANG IN SD COUNTY.

ALL THE UNCONFIRMED ACCOUNTS OF OTAY, SAN YSIDRO, AND POSOLE BEING FROM THE 20'S AND 30'S HAS YET TO BE PROVEN. WE CAN'T TAKE HE/SHE SAY OR MY GRANDMA SAID... STORIES.

PLUS, AREAS WERE HARDLY DEVELOPED AND MOST MEXICAN FAMILIES LIVED NEAR RAILROADS AND PLACE THEY CAN DO FARM WORK.

NC IS AN OLD CITY AND SO IS THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO. IN THE EARLY MID 30'S THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO ANNOUCES A YOUTH DELIQUENCY PROBLEM. 1941 IS THE FIRST WRITTEN CONFIRMED FACT THAT MEXICAN GANGS EXISTED IN NC. THE TONE OF THE WRITTEN FACT MAKES YOU BELIEVE THEY EXISTED BEFORE 1941 BY PROBABLY 3-5 YEARS.

THEN IN 1950 SD RECOGNIZES A GANG PROBLEM AND THERE WAS ONLY 3 GANGS RECOGNIZED. WHICH MAKE SENSE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SD AND HISTORY.

TIMELINE:
1929: CITY OF NC AND NC WELFARE OPEN CASA DE SALUD HEALTH CLINIC (LOCATED IN OTNC)

1937: CASA DE SALUD EXPANDS AND OPEN YOUTH FACILITY CATERING TO OVER 250 MEXICAN YOUTHS. ALSO, THEY WERE TEACHING CLASSES ON AMERICANIZING IN PRIOR YEARS.

1939: CITY OF SD ANNOUCE YOUTH DELIQUENCY (MOSTLY CATERING TO WHITE KIDS) PROBLEM AND HAVING ALTERNATIVE CLUBS LIKE BOYSCOUTS, YMCA, AND CASA DE SALUD FOR MEXICANS.

1941: NEW YOUTH DIRECTOR AT CASA DE SALUD RECOGNIZES GANGS FIGHTS AMONGST MEXICAN KIDS AND WHITES

1944: FIRST GANG FIGHT BETWEEN LOGAN (TOLTEC CLUB FROM 3100 ISLAN AVE) AND OTNC OVER NOT BEING ABLE TO ATTEND A DANCE.

1949: MAJOR GANG FIGHT BETWEEN LOGAN AND OTNC OVER HOUSE PARTY IN LOGANG. LEAVES ONE BOY FROM LH SERIOUSLY INJURED.

1950: SD RECOGNIZES 3 GANGS OTNC, LOGAN, AND OTSD. A SO CALLED 3 WAY WAR. LOGANG HAS HUGE FIGHTS WITH OTSD OVER A FRIEND BEING JUMPED IN OTSD.

OTNC was not the first gang in NC. The first gang was THEE MUTES in the 1940's. OTNC came after them.
