Erica Ciara Linzey has spent her entire young life in her hometown of Davis, California in the United States, the largest city in Yolo County with over 65,000 permanent residents, a number which swells with the students of the University of California, Davis in the fall, over 32,000 in 2009. Davis began its life as Davisville, labelled for prosperous local farmer Jerome C. Davis. The post office shortened the name to Davis in 1907. Davis has long been known as a farming town, notable for its veterinary care, its expertise in animal husbandry and its influence on California agricultural policy. After the University Farm Bill became law in 1905, Governor Pardee chose Davis, California from 50 other possible California areas to be the home of the University of California’s University Farm. This unique facility for study eventually became the seventh University of California campus, the University of California, Davis.
Erica Ciara Linzey’s beloved Davis, California, her hometown for all of her life in the United States, is only 11 miles from the California state capital, Sacramento, and 70 miles from San Francisco. Davis nestles in the Sacramento Valley, the northern part of the San Joaquin Valley. The Sacramento Valley is more humid with more annual precipitation than the much drier San Joaquin Valley as a whole, but shares many of the same crops which have led to the nickname “food basket of the world”. Davis’ Sacramento Valley is known for citrus, nut orchards (almonds and walnuts) and rice as major crops, and cattle ranches are common.
