This Date in Weather History
1848 - When Joseph Henry came to the Smithsonian, one of his priorities was to set up a meteorological program. In 1847, while outlining his plan for the new institution, Henry called for "a system of extended meteorological observations for solving American storms." On November 1st, 1848, Joseph Henry and Navy meteorologist James Espy wrote a letter urging anyone interested in becoming a weather observer to signify their willingness to do so. By 1849, he had budgeted $1,000 for the Smithsonian meteorological project and established a network of some 150 volunteer weather observers. A decade later, the project had more than 600 volunteer observers, including people in Canada, Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Its cost in 1860 was $4,400, or thirty percent of the Smithsonian's research and publication budget.

About Locke, California
Locke, also known as Locke Historic District, is an unincorporated community in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta of California, United States. The 14-acre town (5.7 ha) was first developed between 1893 and 1915 approximately one mile (1.6 km) north of the town of Walnut Grove in Sacramento County.
Locke (originally Lockeport) is a primarily agricultural community near State Route 160, south of Sacramento. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1990 as a unique example of a historic Chinese American rural community. The population as of 2021 was estimated to be about 70, with about 5 Chinese Americans.
The village of Lockeport (shortened to "Locke" in 1920) began where the Sacramento Valley Railway and Union Pacific Railroads merged at the southwest corner of the 490-acre swampland parcel (200 ha) deeded on July 6, 1883, to founder, George W. Locke, and his mercantile business partner, Samuel P. Lavenson. Both men were lured in their youth by the California Gold Rush.
After a fire destroyed the Chinatown and Japantown areas of nearby Walnut Grove on October 7, 1915, many immigrants from the town resettled in and further developed Locke. Chinese and Japanese-owned businesses were established, along with a Chinese language school. The town continued to thrive as a Chinese American agricultural community until after World War II, when younger residents begin leaving the town for better educational and employment opportunities in urban centers.
