Hughson4-H

Hughson was founded as a township in 1907. Prior to this, it consisted of the grain ranch owned by Hiram Hughson. He arrived in 1882, purchased 1,000 acres and gradually owned approximately 5,000 acres. The San Joaquin Railroad purchased land from Hughson for their tracks, and the station became known as the Hughson Stop.
