History

The wind-blown sandy loam plains of South San Joaquin County weren't exactly hospitable to farming back in 1908. Water, though, brought by the Stanislaus and San Joaquin Water Co. from the Stanislaus River near Knights Ferry in the Tulloch Ditch some three years earlier was yielding some remarkable results from 3,000 irrigated Manteca acres. The dairy industry was booming, alfalfa fields were taking hold in the sandy plains and crop yields were up significantly. It didn't take much for visionaries to see what type of future irrigation offered the fledgling town of Manteca. To promote a large-scale water project that was the forerunner to today's South San Joaquin Irrigation District, two men - F.L. Wurster and A.L. Cowell - joined forces to print the Irrigation Bulletin. The first copies printed in November of 1908.
