Placed on the map by the California Pacific Railroad in 1868, Davis has been radically different things over its thirteen-some decades: wheat-growing village, almond cultivation center, university farm locale, urbanizing town, exploding suburb, progressive community, and university city. Yet throughout these changes Davis remained the same in many ways, among them its efforts to retain a small town character and a vital downtown.

Author Bio
John Lofland and Phyllis Haig compiled this pictorial retrospective from several archives and many personal collections, emphasizing photographs of structures that can be seen today over those that have burned or been demolished. While including images of by-gone structures, their emphasis is on sharpening historical understanding of the environment built early on that is still visible today. Their efforts have produced this entertaining and educational volume, which is sure to be a valuable and treasured addition to the library of every history-minded person.
