SALVADOR CREEL.—While he did not come to the Imperial Valley among the pioneers,
Salvador Creel has so conducted his affairs that he holds a prominent position
among his fellow citizens, and has developed his property near Calipatria to a
greater extent than many who preceded him to this section. At present he is a
director of the North End Water Company, and a delegate of the North End in the
committee now working with the Irrigation District to insure the Valley of an
ample and constant water supply. He is general manager of the Calipatria Land
and Cattle Company, and has under cultivation six hundred and forty acres of
highly cultivated land. Mr. Creel is a native of Mexico, and was born in
Chihuahua August 30, 1890, a son of H. Enrique, former ambassador to the United
States, and Angela (Terrazas) Creel. The subject of this review was reared and
received his preliminary education in Mexico, after which he entered
Agricultural College at Ames, Iowa, taking the agricultural and mechanical arts
course. Leaving college in 1910, he returned to Mexico and took the management
of eight thousand acres of wheat and corn land and at the same time Mr. Creel
was identified with the banking house of Creel Brothers in the City of Mexico,
up to 1913. He then made a visit to California and later visited El Paso, Texas,
for one year. In 1915, returning to California, he became identified with
Imperial County. Mr. Creel's parents made their home in Los Angeles and are of
old Mexican origin. Mr. Creel has manifested a commendable interest in all
matters pertaining to the county's welfare and gives his support to all
movements which he believes will be of a beneficial nature.
