A community rich in legacy and agriculture.
Roberts Ferry
history
In 1850, during the height of the California Gold Rush, Doctor B.D. Horr established a ferry crossing of the Tuolumne River which served as the primary crossing of the Tuolumne River on the Stockton-Los Angeles Road. The ferry was later sold to a man named Dickenson and later a man named Osborn. In 1862 John W. Roberts purchased the ferry, moving it 3/8th of a mile upstream to the present location of the Roberts Ferry Covered Bridge in 1865.
