History

The first major settler of Hickman was Charles Dallas in either 1849 or 1850, and early maps even referred to the area as “Dallas”. Dallas’ daughter Mary married Louis McLean Hickman on February 1, 1860. Hickman served as mayor of nearby Stockton, California in 1869. In the 1860s Hickman owned a hardware store and 11,000 acre ranch where he grew grain, hay, olives, figs, oranges, grapes and other fruits. The advent of the railroad in 1891 led to large brick grain storage buildings. Hickman was re-named in 1891 by the Southern Pacific for Louis Hickman.
