Lodi, California
When a group of local families decided to establish a school in 1859, they settled on a site near present-day Cherokee Lane and Turner Road.Settlers flocked from nearby Woodbridge, Liberty City, and Galt including town founders John M. Burt and Dan Crist.Additional public buildings constructed during this period include the Lodi Opera House in 1905, a Carnegie library in 1909, and a hospital in 1915.[14] There has long been a movement in the area to preserve a "greenbelt" as a buffer zone between Lodi and Stockton in order to keep the two cities separate.Due to the city's proximity to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, summer temperatures usually dip into the fifties at night.Fog and low overcast sometimes drifts in from San Francisco Bay during the summer and it can be breezy at times, especially at night.[16] Early industries in Lodi included a sawmill, flour mill, vineyards, orchards, and cattle ranching.The Lodi Land and Lumber Company sawmill was built on the south bank of the Mokelumne River in 1877, and relied on logs floated down from the Sierra during the rainy season.[10]: 32 The early 20th century saw the establishment of several large manufacturers and general service providers with national distribution capabilities, such as Supermold, the Pinkerton Foundry, Lodi Truck Service, the Lodi Iron Works, Pacific Coast Producers, Holz Rubber Company, Valley Industries, General Mills, and Goehring Meat Company.[citation needed] The Farmers Market is held every Thursday evening from May 18 through September 1 (as of 2016) on School Street in Downtown Lodi.It offers a large collection of fresh produce as well as baked goods, crafts, food vendors, and live entertainment.The "Flame Tokay" grape was introduced from Algeria in 1857 and was a central feature of the vineyards that gradually rose to prominence because of the sandy loam soil and the location directly east of the Suisun Pass.Local Marvin Nies used old flame tokay vines located on property farmed by Malcolm Lea to create, in conjunction with U.C.[31] Changing Faces Theater Company is a non-profit, student-run organization that is supported by the Lodi Arts Commission.An annual two-week production occurs each summer and is cast with mostly local children ranging from age six up to college students and, sometimes, a few adults."[35] The opening scene from the film, Cool Hand Luke, where Paul Newman was cutting the parking meters, was shot in Lodi.
