New Hope Farm

Based on a recommendation from Captain Fremont, the Brooklyn Saints sent to 20 men led by Thomas Stout to create the first farm in the famous San Joaquin Valley at a site near the confluence of the Stanislaus and San Joaquin Rivers.

This group converted a whaleboat named the Comet to sale up river with their supplies in late 1846. The farm failed when early rains washed away their planted seeds. There are several historical markers in the area that commemorate their contributions.
