Landmark #777 San Joaquin County Visited: May 8, 2015 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? A plaque commemorating an important river town!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: This river town was established in 1849. Pioneers and freight wagons following post roads to the southern mines crossed the river nearby at Durham’s Ferry, and as a terminal for riverboats, the town played an important part in development of west side grain farming and cattle raising.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
