History

Grayson or Graysonville or Grayson City was founded by a company of seven men, which included Andrew Jackson Grayson (1818–1869). Grayson, a native of Louisiana, brought his family to California in 1846, and was active in the Mexican–American War. He was a self-taught watercolor painter and an authority of Pacific Coast birds.

Graysonville was a steamboat landing on the San Joaquin River from the time of the California Gold Rush until river traffic ended as the water was taken for agriculture.
