History

The City was incorporated on August 29, 1872. The county was expanded eastward in 1887 to include portions taken from Merced and Fresno Counties. Hagen argued that place names in California were dominated by Spanish saint names, and suggested that the state should have a town named after someone less holy. An association member, Napa vintner Henry Hagen, objected. The town, then located in Monterey County, was founded November 19, 1868 originally as the Rancho San Justo Justo Homestead Association, established by William Welles Hollister (1818-1886), a group that originally intended to name it San Justo.
