William Ellsworth Smythe, known as W.E. Smythe, (1861–1922) was a journalist, writer and founder of the Little Landers movement, which aimed to settle small suburban lots with people who would farm their own properties, live off the land and sell or trade the surplus for needed income. In 1908 he set up such a colony in the Tijuana River valley (now San Ysidro, California), and in 1913 he joined in developing a similar venture in Tujunga, California.〔(Joe Stone, in a 1959 ''San Diego Tribune'' article cited in "William Ellsworth Smythe (1861–1922)," San Diego History Center website )〕 Smythe described the basic structure of the Little Land philosophy as colonies that "would provide low priced land, a public irrigation system and a cooperative market for the colony's products." ==Personal life==
Smythe was born December 24, 1861, in Worcester, Massachusetts, to William Augustus Smythe, a wealthy shoe manufacturer, and Abbie Bailey Smythe. In 1882 he and Harriet Bridge were married. They had three children. Smythe died at the age of 61 on October 6, 1922, in his apartment on Fifth Avenue in New York City.〔 He was survived by his son, W.E. Smythe Jr.〔("W.E. Smythe Dies Here," ''New York Times,'' October 8, 1922 ) ''Access to this link requires a subscription to the newspaper or its website.''〕
