Description:
“Where y’all from?” is the California greeting from colonization to today. Do you hail from the States: an emigrant? Are you from abroad: an immigrant? Join us to meet the local pioneers who changed the world. Those that stayed in California after the Gold Rush looked for “Bottom land” and where better than the California Delta. Here agribusiness and aquabusiness led the economic boom. Point of Timber farmers helped found the national Grange movement and shipped more grain in the 1870s from Tulare and San Joaquin than from the entire Mississippi Valley. British investment and commercial traders sent Delta celery, asparagus, fish and nuts throughout Europe. One local man was even instrumental in changing the name of Lake Bigler to Lake Tahoe.
