Excerpt from Sacramento Valley Agriculture
Sacramento History Online
8 Fruit colonies, such as the English Colony Association, were founded on the eastern edge of the valley between 1886 and 1895,
and were generally in lots of 10 to 20 acres with irrigation ditches dug to provide a reliable water supply. Fruit lands in most of
Sacramento, Yolo, and Solano counties didn't need irrigation because of the high water table. Irrigation made cultivation of
orchards, rice, and alfalfa possible in areas not bordered by the rivers and streams. Reclamation and irrigation made thousands of
additional acres available for cultivation, helping to lead to a land boom. Propaganda and citrus fairs helped stimulate the
change. In addition to making hundreds of thousands of acres available for cultivation, irrigation increased land values and
taxes, and forced many owners of large ranches to subdivide and sell their land.
