History

Crows Landing was founded on the San Joaquin River, as a river landing or crossing, by John Crow, who was born in Missouri in 1830 and died in California in 1917; John Crow’s father, Walter Crow, had left Missouri to mine gold in California in 1849. John Crow emigrated from Missouri to California in a covered wagon with his wife Margaret Malinda Bodenhamer, born in 1837 in Quincy, Illinois and died in California in 1918. The Crows had 12 children, but not all survived to adulthood.

In 1887, Crows Landing was relocated to its present site, 4 miles west of its original location, to be served by the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Members of the Crow family still live at Crows Landing and operate a walnut farm.

The small airport at Crows Landing, west of town, was formerly used as an auxiliary landing site for training World War II pilots from Naval Air Station Alameda, and later for NASA’s experimental aircraft from the Ames Research Center in Mountain View. In 2000, control of the airfield was transferred to Stanislaus County. The airfield has been closed since 2011 and is now used for testing cars, trucks, aircraft, and for storage.
