Sunkist Growers history
Sunkist Growers company history timeline
The economic depression that began in 1893 worsened farmers' situations, and intensified their desire to self-organize to their own benefit.
In 1893, P.J. Dreher and his son, the "father of the California citrus industry" Edward L. Dreher (1877–1964), and several other prominent citrus farmers and land owners formed the Southern California Fruit Exchange in Claremont, a small college town near Los Angeles. It originally represented only growers of oranges: in 1896 lemon growers joined as well.
By 1905, the group represented 5,000 members, 45% of the California citrus industry, and renamed itself the California Fruit Growers Exchange.
In 1952, it changed its name to Sunkist Growers, Inc.
