This arch dates from the 1920's when towns in the Central Valley began erecting arches to let others know they about to enter their town. In 1926 the arch was erected. Designed to resemble the bow in a covered wagon. it was built of concrete and stucco along with rock from nearby Stony Creek. In 2013 it was once again lighted and serves as a reminder of the importance Historic Hwy 99 played in the life of the towns along its route.
