Knights Ferry California
BRIEF HISTORY
1849 mining town on the Stanislaus River, still scene of mining, sand and gravel activity. The town of Knights Ferry was named after its founder and original settler, Captain William Knight, who had crossed plans with Captain Freemont. Knight operated a ferry and a trading post at the site. The name "Dentville" was attached to the mining community for a short period, in honor of John Dent who surveyed the town site in 1852.
