George E. Barstow
George Eames Barstow (1849–1924), described as a "capitalist and irrigation pioneer," was a Texas land developer and a member of both the Providence, Rhode Island, common council (four years) and the city's school board (fourteen years), as well as the State Assembly from 1894 to 1896.〔 He was known as "the father of irrigation in the Southwest."〔("May Go Haying in Automobile," ''Los Angeles Times,'' February 2, 1909, page 14 ) ''Access to this link requires the use of a library card.''〕
==Business career==

Barstow began his business career at the age of seventeen and eventually "founded, financed or organized" five worsted and paper mills in Rhode Island.〔
He then turned his attention to the Pecos Valley in Texas, where the Pioneer Canal Company was chartered on September 30, 1889, with Barstow as treasurer. He later served as president of a successor company, the Pecos Valley Land and Irrigation Company.〔
In 1891 Barstow and other land developers formed a project to promote a town on the Texas and Pacific Railway in western Ward County, Texas. By 1895 the town had taken on the name of Barstow, and Barstow himself moved there from New York City in 1904. He took part in organizing other irrigation and drainage systems through the West.〔
