Robert Hickmott founded the cannery in 1890 after a stint working for a Sacramento cannery. Hickmott died in 1922[3]. Jack London worked for the company during his youth. The company was well-known for its peaches and asparagus[4].
The company was merged into the California Fruit Canners Association in 1900; their plant was used as a warehouse by the Oakland Preserving Company[5].
