Hanford

In 1877, the Southen Pacific Railway laid lines from Goshen to Coalinga. The passageway crossed a Chinese sheepherder's camp, and thus began a city now nearing a population of 60,000. Today, Hanford is brimming with citizens working to maintain the genuine look and historical feel of the little town that was born well over a century ago. Author and lifelong Hanford resident Steve R. Rogers presents vintage and modern images to showcase the changes to Hanford over time.
