Forward march of California has been expressed
through the State Fair the last 83 years. The first
State Fair was held at the corner of Bush and Montgomery Streets in San Francisco in 1854. The °49
Gold stampede, the Civil War, and the founding of
now famous settlements were among important events
of early California romance.
Through all, California’s State Fair kept pace.
The fair was responsible for directing world wide
attention to a new commonwealth, California’s Agricultural empire.
Permanent home of the State Fair was located at
Sacramento in 1860.
At the third Fair, Col. J. B. Crockett laid the
foundation for the successful continuation of the
Fair when he won accord to place agricultural and
mechanical industries on a parity with the mining
of precious metals. Since then the Fair has been
the show window of California’s principal industries.
Remarkable strides by the State in all development
is demonstrated at the 1937 Fair through California’s
Pageant of Industries,
The State Fair is the yardstick of California
Progress.
