DISTRICTS
History
The year 2025 marks the 75th anniversary of the Lower Tule River Irrigation District and the year 2023 marked the 65th anniversary of the Pixley Irrigation District. No one can truly say that we have not been founded and molded by generations of families and farms. The different generations saw changing times and events, but in one way or another are all responsible for the success of our districts.
The founding fathers of the districts will recount landowner meetings where the merits of an irrigation district were literally cussed and discussed. Once the districts were formed, the work began to construct a water system that remains today. Throughout the years, the different generations fought to protect their water supply, all the while enhancing the districts and a way of life.
These events carry with them stories, handed down for generations, all of which have a historical basis.
