Sunnyvale Canneries was an early, Sunnyvale-based canner. The company was founded by George H. Hooke after his sale of the Los Gatos Canneries to Hunt Brothers Packing Company[1]. The Sunnyvale Canneries plant was located at Fair Oaks Ave. and the railroad tracks. The company was sold to Schuckl Cannery in 1925[2]. Schuckl extended the facility, adding a warehouse, cooling plant, day-care, and cottages.
The company was also given permission to sell fresh (green) peaches by the California Peach and Fig Growers in 1921[3].
