In the early days livestock was the main industry. Livestock took a back seat to the fruit industry in the early 1900’s, but remained a main-stay. Bud Shaw is showing his state grand champion Holstein in about 1942.

Gala Gardens had a convenience store as well as rental cabins and was located at the junction. (Whitley Drive and Idaho Ave.)  It was a popular spot for the local kids because of the swimming pool in the back.

When the area transitioned from livestock to orchards, a family was able to make a living with less acreage. This brought neighbors closer together and created more of a sense of community. Early pioneers included Joseph Carnefix, Charles Henggeler (whose home is pictured) I.V. Limbaugh, F.H. Hogue, and B.F. Tussing.

The original Mohler’s Mercantile building has housed many businesses over the years. In the 1960s Dennis & Elaine Lloyd ran a grocery store/cafe. They later purchased the Apple Bin Cafe, which they owned for several years.  

In 1928 the high school was built to meet the demands of the growing community. A 1939 addition included a new gymnasium and classroom. It later became the middle school. Don & Konnie Baines (along with 6 other board  members) were instrumental in keeping the historic building from being demolished and in maintaining it for several years. TVCA purchased and renovated the building in 2018.
