Keyes California
BRIEF HISTORY
With irrigation water becoming available after the turn of the century, agricultural production skyrocketed in the San Joaquin Valley. In Keyes, 1300 to 1800 carloads of melons, sweet potatoes and other crops were shipped each year. The train station in Keyes was hastily built in 1914 out of several boxcars. In August of 1914, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Warren assumed the responsibility of running the Keyes Train Station. The Warren's stayed until the depot closed in 1931. (Robert Darus Tatum)
