Fresno City is a former settlement in Fresno County, California. It was located at the head of navigation on Fresno Slough 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Tranquillity, at an elevation of 164 feet (50 m). The city was named after the Spanish word for the Oregon Ash trees that commonly grew along the river banks.
The town was started in 1855, at the head of navigation on Fresno Slough. A pier was built to accommodate flatboats and barges that could make it up the shallow slough. Warehouses, houses, and the Casa Blanca Hotel were built. In 1858, it became a station on the Butterfield Overland Mail. By 1860, the telegraph line from San Francisco arrived. Plans for a much larger town were contemplated but the Butterfield line closed in early 1861, the Great Flood of 1862 did great damage and the City was practically abandoned by 1865. A post office operated at Fresno City from 1860 to 1863. Today there are no traces of it left.
California Historical Landmark No. 488 was erected with a bronze plaque by the Fresno County Historical Association in 1952:
    FRESNO CITY
    'Fresno City' gradually arose at the head of navigation of the Fresno Slough, and existed from approximately 1855 to 1875 - today there are no traces of it left. In 1872, the 'City of Fresno,' later the county seat, was established about 30 miles to the northeast, on the newly built Central Pacific Railroad.
    Location: On Fresno Slough, 0.8 miles north of James Road, from Tranquillity, then 1.3 miles northwest on Levee Road (dirt), Tranquillity.
Vandals removed the plaque and destroyed much of the marker which was located on Whites Bridge Road near Tranquility.

# Good Hope, Wisconsin

Good Hope was an inhabited place in the Town of Milwaukee in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, United States.

## History

The original center was at Charles Krocker's "Good Hope Inn", a tavern and stagecoach stop, and the post office there, which opened in mid-1849, at what is now the intersection of Green Bay Avenue and Green Tree Road in Glendale. In later years, the post office itself was moved further north, to Green Bay Road's intersection with what would become known as Good Hope Road. The original structure was not demolished until 1931.
As of 1887, the Wisconsin Central Railway had a railroad station there, 12 miles out from Milwaukee on the way to Brown Deer and eventually to Ashland.
There was still a post office there as late as 1893, but it was shuttered sometime after May 12, 1894. The former Good Hope School District was merged into the Glendale-River Hills School District, but there is still a Good Hope School building west of Green Bay Road.

# Handley, Fort Worth, Texas

Handley was a town in Tarrant County, Texas, United States. It is located between downtown Fort Worth and Arlington along State Highway 180, and includes the Central Handley Historic District. It is now a part of Fort Worth.

## History

Handley was established in 1885 by the Texas & Pacific Railroad and named after retired Confederate Major James Madison Handley of Georgia. Handley created a plantation just seven miles from the center of Fort Worth on land that was adjacent to the Sara Gray Jennings Survey of 1847, and a very small community began to grow around him to the west. According to the Fort Worth Gazette newspaper of 1888, the most that could be said for the area was that it was good for hunting foxes. By 1901, Handley had 12 houses and 80 residents.
Handley as a town began to grow when the Northern Texas Traction Company bought land in the southern part of the community where it developed a holiday resort called Lake Erie. The company developed its lake and added a roller skate rink, a dance hall, restaurant and rides on a pier above the water.

### Interurban

In 1902, the Northern Texas Traction Company linked the city of Dallas to the east and the city of Fort Worth to the west with its own electric interurban streetcar line. In 1905, the street cars were moving at 8 mph, but by 1923 the speed had picked up to 65 mph.

### Annexed by Fort Worth

In 1946, the city of Fort Worth annexed Handley as a community and its independence came to an end. In that year, it had 510 school students and a total population of around 2500. Fort Worth had a population of well over 100,000 residents.

### Today

After years of neglect, The Historic Handley Development Corporation has now revived a retro-historic version of Handley. Its once famous "Lake Erie" is no more, having been absorbed by the northern part of Lake Arlington, the street cars and their rail lines disappeared long ago and the Traction Company power station is now operated by Exelon.
Its one and two story frame homes are engulfed in trees that populate the neighborhood, formed by Meadowbrook Drive to the north, Hitson Lane to the east, Lancaster Avenue to the south and Loop 820 to the west.
Each year, the HHDC hosts the Handley Street Fest and Car Show the second Saturday of October.
The HHDC is currently developing the Historic Handley Railroad Museum at the corner of Handley Drive and East Lancaster Avenue. They are already in possession of a restored Union Pacific Caboose and hope to add other cars soon, and will also be opening a museum displaying many pieces of railroad history.
# Harbert Landing, Mississippi

Harbert Landing is a ghost town in Tunica County, Mississippi, United States.
The settlement was located directly on the Mississippi River, along the southeast shore of the U-shaped "OK Bend".
Other settlements along OK Bend included Fox Island and Austin.

## History

During the 1800s, Mississippi River steamboats used cord wood for fuel, and a number of woodyards were located along the river, including one in Harbert Landing, owned by Tom Turner. Following the Civil War, ships began using coal for fuel.
In 1942, the United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed the "Hardin Cutoff" across "Hardin Point" peninsula. This cutoff allowed commercial ships to bypass the lengthy OK Bend which flowed around the peninsula. Eventually, the bend became an oxbow lake now called Tunica Lake.

## History

The land for the town was donated by John W. Kuykendall, a prosperous plantation owner in the 1840s. The nickname of the town was Nip 'n' Tuck until it was officially named Harmony Hill in 1856. A post office was established in 1854, William P. Johnston was the postmaster, and the post office was closed in 1867. The post office was reopened in 1868 and closed in 1905, with mail then being delivered via Tatum. A Baptist church was the first church opened in the community. By 1860, the town had grown to 8-10 stores, a druggist, blacksmith, furniture factory, racetrack, Masonic lodge, doctor, and school. Due to being bypassed by the railroad, the town began to decline in the 1870s and 1880s. In 1906, many of the structures were destroyed by a tornado. Only a few homes and a cemetery remained in 1950. A 1984 county highway map showed a church and business in Harmony Hill. A historical marker now sits in the Harmony Hill Cemetery.

# Walker Ranch

The Walker Ranch is a historic ranch in Boulder County, Colorado. The ranch was built by James A. Walker, who first settled in the Boulder area in 1865. Walker and his family initially lived in a log cabin on the ranch, which was built in 1865. In 1881, Walker and his family built and moved to a new ranch house. Walker engaged in a number of business ventures on the ranch and leased parts of the ranch to other businessmen, and the enterprises which took place on the ranch represent many of the region's industries at the time. Walker mainly raised cattle and milled lumber on the property, and an English firm mined gold using a cyanide mill; payments from the latter operation allowed Walker to eliminate his debt and purchase additional land for the ranch. Of the remaining historic buildings on the ranch, eleven are from Walker's homestead and his ranching operations, fourteen were part of Walker's sawmill operations, and fourteen are related to the cyanide mill. The ranch also includes five archaeological sites; three of these are remnants of aboriginal settlement in the area and two of these are Arapahoe sites, including a site Walker may have shared with the Arapahoe when he first came to the area.
The ranch was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as the Walker Ranch Historic District. In 1988, two additional parcels of land were determined to be associated with the ranch's historic activities and were added to the historic district.

# Wallingford Main Street Historic District

The Wallingford Main Street Historic District encompasses the historic portions of the village of Wallingford, Vermont. An essentially linear district extending along Main Street (United States Route 7) on either side of School Street, it has a well-preserved array of 19th and early-20th century residential, commercial, and civic buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

## Description and history

Wallingford is a small agricultural community in the Otter Creek valley of central Vermont, 10 miles (16 km) south of Rutland. It was settled in the 1770s, with its main village established on Roaring Brook, a tributary of Otter Creek. It developed as an agricultural area, and as a stop on the north–south stagecoach route, now US 7. The village center developed as a commercial center, serving the area farmers, and housed local industries such as sawmills, tanneries, and a blacksmith. The stage route was the only significant road in the village, with School Street (Vermont Route 140) emerging later as a major cross street, running east–west north of Roaring Brook. In 1835, Lyman Batcheller opened a pitchfork manufactory, which expanded significantly after the railroad arrived 1852. These industries declined in the early 20th century, as did agriculture, which has been partially supplanted by the summer tourist trade. Most of the village's development after 1920 has taken place on side streets, leaving its Main Street with a largely turn-of-the-20th-century appearance.
The historic district extends along Main Street, from Franklin and Meacham Streets in the north, to just south of the Green Hill Cemetery in the south, and includes a few buildings facing School Street near the central junction of School and Main. Most of the buildings in the district are residential, in a cross section of architectural styles. Prominent civic and religious buildings in the district include the town hall and Baptist Church (both on School Street) and the Renaissance Revival library. Commercial buildings include the Italianate Odd Fellows block, and the Georgian Revival True Temper Inn.
