1914 Map of Manteca

Social life in the early 1910s was centered around a dense network of rural schoolhouses and country parishes. Landmarks such as the Atlanta Church, Castle School, and Summer Home School indicate the placement of small community centers before the widespread consolidation of the mid-twentieth century. To the south, the settlement at Weston and its namesake Weston School mark a distinct neighborhood near the railroad tracks, while the name Campo de los Franceses reflects the deeper territorial history of this part of California.
