HistoryIt grew around White's Bridge, a bridge built over the Fresno Slough ten miles above Firebaugh by Fresno County pioneer James R. White.[1][2]{{rp|279}} The settlement of Whites Bridge became the new head of steamboat navigation on the slough at high water.[2]{{rp|279}}[3]{{rp|201}} Whites Bridge post office opened January 9, 1879.[4] By 1881, the settlement in addition to the post office had a store and hotel, and was the site of sheep shearing. The wool and produce of local farms was shipped down river to Stockton and San Francisco. Large ranch holdings belonging to Miller & Lux lay nearby along the San Joaquin River.[3]{{rp|201}} The Whites Bridge post office closed on November 15, 1893 and was moved to Mendota.[4] References1. ^1 {{GNIS|252062|Whites Bridge}} {{Fresno County, California}}{{FresnoCountyCA-geo-stub}}2. ^1 Paul E.
