#777 Site of San Joaquin City
This river town was established in 1849. Pioneers and freight wagons crossed the river at nearby Durham's Ferry, following post roads to the southern mines. As terminal for river boats it played an important part in development of west side grain farming and cattle raising.
Nothing remains of this site.
