Horace Dobbins

Horace M. Dobbins (August 29, 1868 – September 21, 1962)[1] was a Philadelphia-born businessman and politician who served as Mayor of Pasadena, California, United States in 1900–1901.

[2] Horace Dobbins had the exclusive idea of incorporating an elevated tollway for bicycles and other horseless vehicles from the Green Hotel in Pasadena to Los Angeles.

There were roles to fill in this organization, so Horace Dobbins served as an adjutant working with many other companies.

Later on, after a period of about ten years of continuous active participation in the club, he succeeded Stearns as president.

Before 1900, he was the vice-president of the El Cajon Valley Company in San Diego county, California.

[5] After he retired from the office of mayor, he became a member of the Pasadena Board of Trade and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce which is now Southern California's dominant business federation.

[5] In addition to his medical, business, and trade interests, Dobbin also participated in many entertainment organizations.
