The Orchard City Canning Company (also known as the Payne Cannery) was a Campbell cannery established around 1910 by Perley B. Payne Sr and partner. The cannery closed in 1917 because of a loss of business; the company's main market was in Hamburg, Germany; World War I cut off access[1] The cannery was leased to California Canneries in 1917, with Payne running the plant for Isidor Jacobs. The "Campbell plant" was sold to California Canneries in 1919[2][3]. A Southern Pacific 1931 Siding List still lists a siding serving California Canneries.

In 1915, the cannery packed 1,500 cases of canned and dried fruit, two boilers, employed between 45-50 cannery workers during the season. Payne won a Bronze Medal at the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco for that season's excellent product. Newspaper ads from 1919 request women to help with canning pears and tomatoes.
