Why this spot

1911-1916 Jewish agricultural colony

A 6,085-acre Jewish back-to-the-land colony settled in September 1911 by the Jewish Agricultural and Colonial Association on state land below the planned Piute Canal. Poor water and crop yields doomed it; the state began auctioning the land in January 1916 and most colonists left within a few years.View source →
