Description

Clovis: A Community Born from a Deal In 1887, two men made a deal that would shape the future of California's San Joaquin Valley. Clovis M. Cole, a farmer with ambitions to cultivate wheat, sold key landholdings to Marcus Pollasky, a businessman seeking to profit from the area. The town was named after Cole, and as businesses grew along Front Street, families purchased nearby parcels to build homes and grow crops. As the town flourished, dedication to family, friends, and community became the defining characteristic of living in Clovis. This book tells the story of how a small deal between two men led to the creation of a thriving community that would become an integral part of California's history. With its rich history and focus on the importance of community, this book offers a unique perspective on the development of Clovis.
