  • Historic Guide to Modesto
    Historic Guide to Modesto Modesto Landmarks: 1870 - 1940 Modesto was founded as a village in October 1870, when the Central Pacific Railroad purchased approximately one square mile of land and began selling lots. Before the Central Pacific Railroad gave shape to the village, Americans had already settled in the area and began farming. Several villages sprang up to provide services to these people, among them cemeteries. Modesto’s landmarks span different eras of the city’s history. There are tours of specific eras, which include summaries of the period highlighted. This tour, however, focuses exclusively on established landmarks. More information about each Landmark is available at www.modestogov.com/1939/Landmark-Preservation-Program Buildings, trees, and objects worthy of preservation are not limited to this list of landmarks.
