Fresno in 1909 was a county seat of a little over 10,000 people, and its growth still rested on the orchards and vineyards that surrounded it. A second railroad, the Santa Fe, had joined the Southern Pacific here in 1888, giving growers another route to outside markets. Immigrant families, among them many Armenian and Japanese farmers and laborers, worked the vineyards and packing sheds alongside longtime Anglo settlers, and the county fair and the local newspapers drew townspeople together each year. Residents of the period would have thought of Fresno as a place where the valley's farm wealth came to be bought, sold, and argued over.
