CURRENT
EXHIBIT
ROEDING CENTENNIAL
The Roeding Family arrived in San Francisco in 1849 from Hamburg, Germany.
Frederick Roeding became a mercantile banker who, after the 1868 Great Quake,
purchased thousands of acres in Fresno with six other German families. They
moved to Fresno to become part of the agricultural revolution in the Central
Valley. In 1917 the Roedings
purchased the California Nursery Company in Niles, making
2017 their one hundredth
anniversary.
Their vast holdings throughout the state included
citrus, fig, and olive orchards in southern
California as well as several growing fields in the
Central Valley.
California Nursery Company provided trees and
exhibits worldwide, helping to propel the nursery
to become the largest
in the West Coast.
