Biography

Born in Greece, New York in 1826, Pardee settled in the Midwest before immigrating to California during the Gold Rush in the late 1840s. During the Gold Rush Pardee panned gold in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Following the end of the Rush, Pardee settled in San Francisco, becoming a prominent oculist. Between 1868 and 1869, Pardee built his own home, known today as the Pardee Home. Outside of the medical profession, Pardee would also venture into politics. He was elected as a Republican to the lower house California State Assembly between 1871 to 1873, representing the East Bay 9th District. In 1876, Pardee was elected to a single term as Mayor of Oakland.

Pardee died in his adopted city of Oakland in 1896. He is interred at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland.

His only child, George C. Pardee, also became a respected medical doctor and politician like his father. He was elected as Oakland Mayor between 1893 to 1895, and later served a single term as Governor of California from 1903 to 1907.
