Stories of the Delta
The Delta’s stories range back in time and will continue to unfold into the future. These are the stories of the people who made the region their home: the Native Americans and later settlers who worked the land, people who founded businesses, and those who harnessed the Delta’s most valuable asset, its water. The towns that comprise the Delta region also have their own stories: those of development, growth, abandonment, and now a reassessment of the role they play in the history that is the California Delta.
