Philip Sichel (born about 1823 in Germany) was one of the first eight "recognizably Jewish" pioneers to settle in Los Angeles, California,[1] after that city became part of the United States in 1848; he was listed in the first Los Angeles census in 1850. He was a member of the Los Angeles Common Council, the governing body of the city, from May 7, 1862, to May 6, 1865,[2] and was on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 1864, resigning on August 18 of that year.[3]
Sichel was a landowner in what is now Anaheim, California, and sold land in 1866 to establish Anaheim Cemetery.[4]
Sichel Street in today's Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles, was named after him.[5][6]
