Description
"During the depression years, the W.P.A. put in curbs and gutters in the city and built an additional industrial sewer line. Extensive plantings of watermelons and a variety of truck crops were followed shortly by vineyards and orchards. Today, the farming community of Ripon is made up primarily of almond orchards and grape vineyards."
