Precita Canning Company was a San Francisco cannery in existence from 1890 to 1906. The company was founded by Sai Yin Chew in 1890. After the cannery's destruction in the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, the company moved to Alviso and renamed itself the Bayside Canning Company.
Few contemporary records exist for Precita Canning; however, a Presidio Fruit Canning is mentioned and may be a corruption of the name. News reports after the earthquake measure their pre-disaster capacity as 100,000 cases a year[1]. However, California Secretary of State records do show a Presidio Fruit Canning Company in existence[2].
