Davis, a prominent local farmer, who owned much of the land that comprises Davis. Davisville first found its way on the map due to the California Pacific Rail Road line junction. In 1907 Davisville shortened its name to Davis and the City of Davis was incorporated in 1917. Another landmark in Davis history was the opening of the University Farm in 1908, which is now known as the University of California at Davis.
