George M. Holton was raised in Michigan, admitted to the Bar in Chicago in 1870, and moved to California in 1872. He was the first Republican ever elected as Los Angeles County District Attorney in 1884 and served
until 1886. He later became chief deputy district attorney, from 1895-1899. He was a resident of the Bunker
Hill District of Los Angeles when he was in private practice for many years before retiring to Monrovia where he spent his final days. One of proudest achievements was his work to get the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to purchase and build a new main downtown courthouse.
