The original settler was (either) Issac or Simon Hoffman, who came from Germany. His family remained in Tulare; some are still there.<br /><br />My great-grandfather was Fred Clark Hoffman who in 1939 donated the land on which the current Grange Hall is located at 1943 W. Inyo St. He owned about 200 acres at the time and donated the site so the Grange could build a hall for community meetings.<br /><br />I am now living in Wasco, CA (about 50 mi. south). My father, who grew up in Tulare is still living (age 83)and we are e-mailing about his memories. I plan to make several trips to do more research and look forward to reading your books (if I can find them).<br /><br />Anyway, I was very pleased to run across your blog. Only wish I had seen it earlier.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Toni HoffmanT.
