1899-

The Santa Clara County Fruit Union was a San Jose-based cooperative dried fruit packing and marketing organization, apparently organized in September 1899[1]. Several cooperatives were formed during the 1890's; the Santa Clara County Fruit Exchange was affiliated with several of the other cooperatives, but the Santa Clara County Fruit Union appears to have stood apart[2]. The Union was also a delivery point for fruit for the California Cured Fruit Union during the 1900 season[3]. In 1899, the union handled 100 carloads of prunes; they expected to double or triple that amount in 1901 because of a new warehouse[4].

The organization's president in 1900 was S.R. Johnson; secretary was W. P. Cragin[5].
