GENERAL PLAN SUMMARYTheDonnerPartyinWheatland1849GoldRushIncorporationHopFarmRiotsIn the 1840s Johnson’s Ranch was well known as the first settlementreached by the overland immigrants after crossing the Sierra and isconsidered to be the end of the Emigrant Trail. Here immigrantsrested and obtained supplies, and it was even the base for survivors ofthe infamous Donner Party after they were rescued in 1847.During the gold rush of 1849, placer gold was recovered from creeksand streams near Wheatland. The gold rush helped to quicklypopulate the region with prospectors, entrepreneurs, and othersseeking easy fortunes.During this time the first building were erected in Wheatland. Theseincluded a general store, saloon, blacksmith shop, hotel, and a fewresidences in the first year. It was not until 1871-72 that the sale ofindividual lots boomed.At the time of Wheatland’s incorporation in 1874, the population was900, of which 300 were Chinese. Most Chinese came to work on therailroad and service industries (laundries, restaurants, etc.) and laterwere employed as hop workers. A thriving Chinatown existed fromthe 1860s through the early 20th century, when anti-Chinese sentimentforced its relocation several times. The center of the Chinese burialrite was a ceremonial pyre near the Wheatland Cemetery where finalmeals were cooked for the deceased. The Chinese were buried nearbyuntil they could be shipped back to China for final internment.Another significant event in Wheatland’s history was the inaugurationof Mayor Edward P. Duplex in 1888. Mayor Duplex was the firstAfrican-American man to be elected mayor of a western United Statescity. His barbershop still stands today on Main Street in downtown.Hop raising on a small scale was carried on in Yuba County aroundthe 1860s, and D.P. Durst planted the first hops in the Wheatland areain 1874. This ranch was the largest privately owned hops field in theworld and Wheatland soon became known as the “Hop Center.”Migrant workers throughout the region were drawn to Durst’s ranch.The Durst hop ranch was also the scene of one of the first labordisturbances in California history. In 1913, violence erupted at ameeting organized by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) toprotest low pay and intolerable living conditions of the hops pickers.The California State militia had to be called in to break up the riot,only after the sheriff, the district attorney, and two workers werekilled. The organizers of the strike were later convicted of murder andsentenced to life imprisonment.In the wake of this tragedy, Governor Hiram Johnson created acommission to investigate the condition of migratory farm laborers,Wheatland General Plan Policy Document, Part I 5July 11, 2006
