Ralph’s Station

Land homesteaded by Isaac Taylor Holland and the adjoining Campbell property was sold to Jonathan Florentine Ralph, who later divided the parcels and gave them to his sons Galo, Walter, and Frank. Frank built an apple packing house served by the Sierra Railroad Co. For over 35 years the sons grew apples and pears that were shipped and sold on the New York market. Ralph's Station was the starting point of the historic Sugar Pine Railroad, incorporated Feb. 25, 1903, which served the massive lumbering industry.
