Rocca Park

John Rocca died on July 6, 1921, at the family home on Algerine Road at the age of 77. A man of strong personality and rare business judgment, he gained many friends and accumulated land and business undertakings that he managed successfully. He acquired considerable property in the Algerine Road area and in the town of Jamestown, including this land, which his daughter Edna Rocca Collard donated for a park in 1980. He took an active interest in matters involving the county's progress or welfare, served on the Board of Supervisors, was twice married, and was the beloved father of 19 children. His funeral has been said to have been the largest ever seen in Tuolumne County.
