HISTORY

The Pomona Packing Plant has a rich history, beginning in 1916 with The Pomona Valley Canning Company, when it was a state-of-the-art cannery dedicated to processing and canning peaches. It even had its own railroad stop. The cannery later recast itself as the “Pomona Packing Company” and diversified into processing orange and lemons.
