Hanford, created by the Southern Pacific Railroad and named for paymaster James Madison Hanford, is located in the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley near the San Joaquin and Kings Rivers. Incorporated in 1891 and named the seat of Kings County two years later, this city has grown from humble origins to become a center for business and government while also maintaining its agricultural tradition in ranching, dairy farms, vineyards, and other crops. The story of Hanford is captured here in vintage photographs that detail its history from the Tache tribe of the Yokut Indians, who were first to inhabit the region, to the coming of the railroad and the infamous Mussel Slough tragedy that led to monopoly reform laws, and finally to the building of the town itself.

The pictures are fascinating, especially those of downtown Hanford where I can recognize many buildings. My own family isn't relevant to this book--my grandparents' families didn't come to the area until the 1920s--but I love seeing the area as it once was. Arcadia Publishing has done an invaluable service in creating these books on small town America. ( )
