Even though its fertile valley land is covered in homes, schools and retail shops, the Orchard City got its start as an agricultural center. Its founder, Benjamin Campbell, bought 160 acres to cultivate hay and grain—land that now is the site of the city’s historical downtown and its iconic water tower. After Campbell sold his land to Southern Pacific Railroad for $5 an acre, the area became a center for shipping fruit. After Campbell was incorporated in 1952, the shift from farmland to suburban tracts accelerated, and now almost 40,000 people call the city home.
