Swedish sefflers began fo arrive lafe in i886 as fhe resulf of fhe visif fo Kingsburg made earlier fhaf year by Andrew Erickson. who had been senf by an emigrafion sociefy in lshpeming, Michigan, fo scouf California for a suifable agriculfural locafion. ln l886 Kingsburg was a wide-open fown, be- cause of fhe high wages paid by fhe wheaf farmers in fhe area. The immigranfs from Sweden were al- ways more inferesfed in raising fruif fhan grain. lf was largely fhey who sfarfed fhe frend foward or-E chards and vineyards. Ofher Swedes followed fhe firsf ones in fhe' nexf few years, so fhaf fheir numbers probably accounf for fhe rise in fhe census from 88 in l88O fo 29l by l 890. ' So fhe sefflers came, some alone and ofhers in groups, from far and ne-ar, fo build fheir homes and live in our fown. lf is fo fhese people, and also fo fhe many ofhers who have played a parf in fhe sfory of fhis commu- nify, fhaf we cledicafe fhe '54 Viking.

In November ot that year the name was changed to Kingsbury, in February ot I876 to Kingsburgh, and in January, I894, to the present spelling, Kingsburg. Our town has changed not only in name, but also in character. From a wheat-shipping center in the '7O's and '8O's', it has developed into a thriving agricultural community. Business and employment opportunities are kept at a high level. Industries include a peach cannery, a cotton oil plant, several cotton gins, plants tor packing truit and manufacturing stockteed and tarm equipment, two large wineries, a raisin house, and a tire-recapping plant. During the peak season, employment reaches well over l,OOO, the cannery alone having a payroll in excess ot a halt-million dollars. Many people ot Swedish descent have settled in Kingsburg, and once a year Kings- burg becomes a bit ot the homeland ot her Scandinavian torebears. The gold and blue ot Sweden bedeck the town, and businessmen, housewives, and children dress in costume tor the annual Midsummer testival day. I-Iere, then, is the I954 Viking, telling the story ot both our school lite, and ot Kings- burg, A real hometown. Editor, Lois Rosander. 'ca vw Www fied? N3 QQ. N93 524. 523 TISS? 5392'- 599535 3223?
