Empire California
BRIEF HISTORY
Santa Fe shipping point and survivor to original Empire city, of early days. Empire is named indirectly for the original Empire City which had been situated on the south, or opposite, bank of the Tuolumne River, from the present town. The early settlement, which had once been the Stanislaus County seat, became deserted with the decline of the river boat trade. In 1908, a railroad station and a few buildings were erected on the present site and named Empire. (Joseph Burton Vasche)
