| From the Guidebook: |
Approximately six miles west
of this spot, 20 Mormon pioneers from thes hip Brooklyn
founded the first known agricultural colony in San Joaquin
Valley, planting the first wheat and crops that they irrigated
by the pole and bucket method. They erected three log
houses and operated a sawmill and a ferry across Stanislaus.
Their settlement later became known as Stanislaus City.
