Notes
  • Less than a century ago, California ranked among the world's leadmg wheat producers. Enormous harvests from the Central Valley were loaded for export at San Francisco Bay, and sailing ships carried the greater part of this wheat around Cape Horn to Great Britain. At first the grain was handled at San Francisco and lesser Bay ports, b11t in the 1880's a new warehousing and loading complex arose to become the shipping center for the state's wheat. An interesting combination of geographical and economic factors brought this unique center, "Port Costa," into being on an unlikely site, entirely removed from previous development.
