description: Placed on the map by the California Pacific Railroad in 1868, Davis has been radically different things over its thirteen-some wheat-growing village, almond cultivation center, university farm locale, urbanizing town, exploding suburb, progressive community, and university city. Yet throughout these changes Davis remained the same in many ways, among them its efforts to retain a small town character and a vital downtown.
