Davis (1822—1881) was an American agriculturalist who the city of Davis, California (formerly Davisville) is named for.[1] Davis was born in Perry County, Ohio, where his father Isaac Davis and his mother Rachael Manley had a family farm. He also had a brother, Franklin B., and a sister, Elnora. Jerome got his start as a ferry operator on the Sacramento River with his father-in-law, and later become a prominent landowner with 12,000 acres of farmland.[2] 773 acres of his farm was purchased to be part of the newly formed University of California, Davis.[1] Davis served as the president of the State Agricultural Society (predecessor to California Exposition), and opened the 8th annual California State Fair in 1861.[3]
