George A. Newhall lived in San Francisco where he took over his father's import-export business, which he ran with his half-brother Edwin White Newhall. George Almer served as president of The Newhall Land & Farming Co. (and president of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce); the farming company, which owned multiple ranches in California, was headquartered in San Francisco.
