California fruit and vegetable growers are credited with introducing many new varieties from around the world, and with the creation of many new varieties. Culled from a comprehensive timeline of California's agricultural history, developed in 1987 by Axel Borg, Distinguished Wine and Food Bibliographer UC Davis Library, that sprang from his work, A Bibliography of California Experiment Station Publications: 1877 to 1975, the history of what was first planted when in California is archived and available online in Calisphere.
