n the late 19th century, people from the Punjab region in north
India, known as the Land of Five Rivers, began settling in the
Sacramento Valley and other parts of rural California, farming the land
that reminded them of home. Despite the many challenges these pioneers
faced in a new land, they built a thriving community.
The history and ongoing vibrancy of Yuba City’s Punjabi American
community — one of the largest rural South Asian communities outside
India — is celebrated with the launch of the Pioneering Punjabis Digital Archive Project by the University of California, Davis.
