Once the rails were laid, the sleepy sheep camp began to grow and develop into a town. The area experienced a number of fires that devastated large areas. The need for fire protection was one of the reasons for incorporation in 1891. Also in 1891, an electrical generation plant opened bringing with it electric lights! The Mussel Slough Tragedy occurred in 1880 in a dispute over land titles. See historical events for more information. Hanford is known for "China Alley." This is a 100 year-old Chinatown which was preserved by Chef Winy's family. Many famous people, including US Presidents, Eisenhower and Truman, Mao Tse-Tung and Chiang Kai-shek have eaten here.
