Quick Summary

The California Citrus State Historic Park is located in Riverside, California. Riverside was established in 1870 and initially focused on silk production. It later became a prominent citrus town, cultivating the first Washington navel-orange trees in California in 1873. The park preserves this history, along with the Parent Navel Orange Tree, and is a popular local attraction. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits, are a significant part of California's agricultural output, though the state now ranks second to Florida in orange production.123
