Covered Bridge at Knights Ferry Historic Landmark #329974780
Description
Knights Ferry as it is known today was first settled by Dr. William Knight in the spring of 1849. Dr. Knight, aside from being a doctor, was a prominent fur trader that founded other towns in Northern California such as Knights Landing. The site of Knights Ferry was chosen as it was an appropriate area to house a ferry that would cross the Stanislaus River, and thus provide Knight with a profitable venture in a yet undeveloped part of California. Knight soon partnered with a local, James Vantine, and with the help of an old whaling vessel, created a ferry that would be the staple of business in Knights Ferry.
