FROM EARLY BEGINNINGS
It all started with Peter Christian Wolfsen back in 1881. Traveling from Germany, Peter arrived in Merced, California with his three children (two daughters, and son Lawrence Ludwig). In 1902, Lawrence Ludwig, the son of Peter Wolfsen purchases land in the Lone Tree area of Merced.
In 1906, the Wolfsen Brothers are born – Henry Bowman Wolfsen, and Lawrence Christian Wolfsen
