Hot Rods Flood California’s Central ValleyThe Kingsburg Car Show celebrated its 30th anniversary with a record turnout John McGannWriter celebrated its 30th annual car show over the third weekend in April Nearly 400 cars were in attendance; it was the highest car count the show has ever seen Situated about half an hour south of Fresno Kingsburg is home to just over 12,000 people the Kingsburg Chamber of Commerce closes Draper Street and several of the intersecting streets for the show participants to park their cars We made the four-hour drive north from Los Angeles with Lucky Costa and the GasRatz Customs car club Be sure to check out our photo gallery from the show It was a little smaller than most of the shows we cover but the small-town charm of this Central Valley city made it all worthwhile not only for its scarcity but also for the history of the bank that issued it Kingsburg derives its name from the nearby Kings River which itself was named in the early 19th century by Spanish explorers led by Gabriel Moraga Moraga and his team surveyed much of Northern California and the Central Valley leaving a legacy that continues to influence today Kingsburg’s growth was largely driven by its location along the Central Pacific Railroad making it a hub for commerce and settlement it had become a favored destination for Swedish immigrants many of whom contributed to the town’s development the Kingsburg State Bank transitioned into the First National Bank of Kingsburg (Charter #8409) marking a significant chapter in the town’s financial history the First National Bank of Kingsburg operated with the minimum required capital of $25,000 Like many small banks in the Central Valley what sets this institution apart from its peers is its unique issuance policy Instead of printing a range of denominations the bank exclusively issued $50 and $100 notes These high denominations were primarily held in reserve with limited circulation – making surviving examples incredibly rare the First National Bank fell into receivership its brief but impactful legacy is preserved in the few surviving notes each of which tells a story of early banking in California Only two examples of the 1902 $50 National Bank Note from Kingsburg have been recorded in the National Bank Note Census These notes have made just a handful of appearances at auction and website in this browser for the next time I comment This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

"She was smart. Tried to avoid him going across the street. She knocked on the door. The resident answers. She told the woman what was happening and she called police immediately," Chief Dadian said. Less than an hour later Chief Dadian says the same person approached two girls on the cross-country team. He waved them over to his car and tried talking to them. They ran away and reported the incident to police. Within minutes the driver of the car, Efrain Vallejo-Chagolla who lives in Reedley was pulled over for questioning. "We couldn't determine in either incident that a crime had occurred. He was just waving them over," Chief Dadian said. In 2014 Vallejo-Chagolla was convicted of indecent exposure. Now police are asking if similar incidents like what happened Monday, took place and were never reported. "We do want the public to know that we are aware of him. Want the public to be aware of him and he doesn't have any business in Kingsburg," Chief Dadian said. Chief Dadian wants the community, especially young women to always be aware of their surroundings. Kingsburg Police detectives are working with the Fresno County District Attorney's Office to see if there's enough evidence to charge Vallejo-Chagolla with a crime.
