Choice of name

How did Santa Fe Springs choose that name? —Over My Head 17:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Starbucks factoid

On April 27th the Starbucks factoid was removed because it was "obviously not true." That is actually not correct though, it is true. All Starbucks locations were obtained from Starbucks.com's own site, and there are 560 Starbucks locations within 25 miles of the center of the zip code 90670 (specifically latitude 33.935496 longitude -118.068192), which is Santa Fe Springs. There is no other zip code in the US with more than 560 locations.

I believe this is an interesting and unique fact that is relevant to Santa Fe Springs. If there are other reasons to omit this then fine, but I don't think that it should be removed for not being accurate.

If there is no objection to this in the next few days I'll add it back, but if you feel as though this doesn't belong here please let me know.

The original segment is as follows: Notable Facts Santa Fe Springs has the highest concentration of Starbucks locations of any city in the United States. There are a total of 560 unique Starbucks locations within a 25-mile radius as of July 2007. Source: http://foodio54.com/results-starbucks.php

I doubt that there are less than 560 Starbucks within 25-miles of Los Angeles or NYC, considering how much bigger they are. Also, that data doesn't limit itself to the city, but the general area. If you could prove that within the city limits it has the highest concentration of Starbucks per area, THEN you have a good factoid for the article. —Over My Head 19:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok then I'll leave this out, Los Angeles has the highest concentration within the actual city limits, this 560 figure begins in the center of 90670 and goes out in a 25 mile radius. Using that metric it is the highest concentration though, but I see your point as many of those locations cross into other cities. Retsep81 (talk) 02:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Demographics

After reading all of the text regarding racial population percentages, what is meant by the statement: Hispanic or Latino of any race were 71.38% of the population. ?? --12.191.244.12 (talk) 19:55, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Try googling in quotes. I founud this on the following wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic_and_Latino_Americans

"Neither term refers to race, as a person of Latino or Hispanic origin can be of any race." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.112.6.80 (talk) 04:11, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier names before incorporation

Santa Fe Springs had three small towns before the city's incorporation: Carmenita (a Mexican-American colonia or Latino/Hispanic town), Little Lake City (the local public school district name from a small lake there) and I believe Freetown (may have to do with the Quakers in nearby Whittier in the 1870s). 98.150.68.110 (talk) 21:50, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
