Local
History
Davis grew around a Southern
Pacific Railroad depot built in 1868. It was then known
as "Davisville," named for Jerome C. Davis, a prominent
local farmer. However, the post office at Davisville shortened
the town name to simply "Davis" in 1907. The name
stuck, and the city of Davis was incorporated in March 1917. From
its inception as a farming community, Davis has been known
for its contributions to agriculture along with veterinary
care and animal
husbandry. This has been especially true since 1908, when
the University
of California established a University Farm in Davis. It
was upgraded into the seventh UC campus, the University
of California, Davis, in 1959. Now the city is also known
for its contributions in the areas of biotechnology,
medicine and
other life
sciences. |
