History

When a group of local families decided to establish a school in 1859, they settled on a site near present-day Cherokee Lane and Turner Road. In 1869, the Central Pacific Railroad was in the process of creating a new route, and pioneer settlers Ezekiel Lawrence, Reuben Wardrobe, A. C. Ayers, and John Magley offered a townsite of to the railroad as an incentive to build a station there. The railroad received a "railroad reserve" of in the middle of town, and surveyors began laying out streets in the area between Washington to Church and Locust to Walnut. Settlers flocked from nearby Woodbridge, Liberty City, and Galt including town founders John M. Burt and Dan Crist. Initially called Mokelumne and Mokelumne Station after the nearby Mokelumne River, confusion with other nearby towns prompted a name change, which was officially endorsed in Sacramento by an assembly bill. Several stories have been offered about the origins of the town's name change. One refers to a locally stabled trotting horse that had set a four-mile (6 km) record, but as the horse reached the peak of its fame in 1869, it is unlikely that its notoriety would still have been evident in 1873. Alternatively, Lodi is a city in northern Italy where

defeated the Austrians in 1796 and won his first military victory. More than likely, some of the earliest settler families were from Lodi, Illinois, and they chose to use the same name as their hometown. In 1906, the city was officially incorporated by voters, passing by a margin of 2 to 1. The fire department was established in 1911, and the city purchased the Bay City Gas and Water Works in 1919. Additional public buildings constructed during this period include the Lodi Opera House in 1905, a Carnegie library in 1909, and a hospital in 1915.

. There are many vineyards in Lodi with century-old grapevines, some going into California wines like Bedrock and Turley. Starting in the early 20th century, and right up to the early 1980s, Lodi promoted itself as the "Tokay Capital of the World" due to the abundance of the Flame Tokay variety in the area.{{cite web , title=The Grape Industry , work=Lodi News-Sentinel , date=January 18, 2007 , url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid%3D2245%26dat%3D20070118%26id%3DeRQmAAAAIBAJ%26sjid%3DVP0FAAAAIBAJ%26pg%3D3409%2C1886753 , access-date=March 27, 2016 , archive-url=https://archive.today/20130124161130/http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2245&dat=20070118&id=eRQmAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VP0FAAAAIBAJ&pg=3409,1886753 , url-status=dead , archive-date=January 24, 2013 Nowadays there are over 100 different grape varieties planted in the Lodi AVA in over {{convert, 113,000, acres of vineyards.

in 1857 and was a central feature of the vineyards that gradually rose to prominence because of the sandy loam soil and the location directly east of the Suisun Pass. Local Marvin Nies used old flame tokay vines located on property farmed by Malcolm Lea to create, in conjunction with U.C. Davis plant breeding specialists, the seedless Tokay. Malcolm Lea, a co-founder of Guild Winery and East-Side Winery, sold substantial quantities of crushed grapes to Inglenook and other older Napa wineries, as well as truckloads of crushed grapes to San Francisco restaurants that made their own "house" wines. For a brief period during the late 19th century, the vines were usurped in favor of watermelons and wheat, but price cuts and labeling problems encouraged farmers to plant more vines.{{Clarify, reason=What does this statement mean that watermelons/wheat could not be properly labelled or wines and how does that reflect in planting more vines when if there is a market glut because sales are unpredictable then why plant more vines?, date=February 2019{{r, Hillman 1985, page=35 In 1991, Lodi winegrape growers decided to self-impose a tax{{clarify, date=November 2024, reason=A tax or a voluntary levy? on their grapes to fund the Lodi Winegrape Commission.
