El Monte Hayes

El Monte Hayes was originally called Hayes Town, named after John Hayes (1836 – 1917), who was an early settler of this area purchasing 300 acres. Hayes arrived in California in 1868 and settled in El Monte in 1878, and worked as a teacher and a farmer that grew walnuts.

Over the years, a section of El Monte was a camp known as Hayes Town where Mexican immigrants began to settle after 1915. Other camps in El Monte included Wiggins, Flores, Granada and Hicks (first camp). As the youth of their immigrant parents began to click together, they did so according to the camp they were from, then over time these organizations became gangs. The girls from this neighborhood would even themselves the Hayes Cats or Las Gatas de Hayes.

Hayes has four clicks, Hayes Town, Little Locos, Tiny Locos, and Los Jokers, named after Joker Two, a member who was killed during the 1990s.

    I am an OG from this neighborhood. I was one of the original members. Most if not all the other members are either dead or in jail. Saw a lot of guys live.

    Whom ever wrote that history about my Barrio on the top of this page has gotten most of it wrong. I am a second generation native of Medina Court (Hayes), my mom was born there in 1928 and I, although not born there was raised there from day 1. If you want the real scoop on how it got started get at me. If you dont know Mon, Pennyface, Chavito or Gabby you are an imposter. If you have never played pool at the El calvario (The Club) you are a fake and a fraud. The real OG’s from Hayes are dead, busted or retired from that life. Go check La Historia Museo on Tyler for some schooling on how it was growing up in my Barrio. PURO HAYES EL MONTE’ LA MEDINA COURT AREA. CON/SAFOS……..
