Allensworth: Black colonist founder and state historic park
Allensworth grew from a San Joaquin Valley colony founded by Lt. Col. Allen Allensworth to a once thriving community of about 200 families. Decline followed his 1914 death and water issues, but California plans Allensworth State Historical Park on about 240 acres to restore the town and showcase its agricultural and cultural history with a museum and living displays.
