Born December 12, 1863, Domingo Borda was brought up in his native place at Cambo, and there was sent to the public school, to attain what education that school afforded. When he reached manhood he decided to try his luck in the New World and came to the United States in 1884, locating in California. His first employment was with a sheep man in San Bernardino county, driving between San Gabriel and Pomona valley, and also between Perris and San Jacinto. Four years later he bought a lot of sheep and embarked in the sheep business in San Jacinto, following this until 1894, when he drove them to Tehachapi, in Kern County. After remaining there four or five summers he decided to range them near Famosa, about four miles east of there on the plains, and in the summers in the mountains of Garcia.
Mr. Borda resides at No. 719 Niles street, East Bakersfield. He homesteaded a quarter of section twenty-six, on mile from Buena Vista Lake and built a house and barn. In all, his place covers one hundred and sixty acres, on which he raises grain. He also owns an eighty-acre ranch about five miles south of Bakersfield, which is under irrigation and planted to alfalfa.
In Tehachapi, Mr. Borda married August 28, 1902, Mary Etcheverry, who was also born in Basses Pyrenees, France and to them have come four children: Catherine, Pierre, Baptiste and Michel. Politically Mr. Borda is a Republican.
