Lodi is an increasingly popular exurb for commuters priced out of homeownership in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lodi is best known as a center of wine production, although its vintages have traditionally been less prestigious than those of Sonoma and Napa counties. However, in recent years, the Lodi appellation has become increasingly respected for its Zinfandel wine and other eclectic varietals. Nearby Woodbridge is the home of a famous Robert Mondavi winery, Mondavi Woodbridge.

Lodi California, was known as Mokelumne Station and established in 1869. How Lodi got its name is a mystery. It has been said it was named after a popular racehorse.

In the early 1900's Tokay grapes were introduced into the area, and the town was able to grow and prosper. In 1907 the first Tokay Carnival was held to promote this particular grape. The Lodi California Arch was built to commemorate this first event, the Arch still stands today.

Museums: Lodi Museums • Lodi Railroad Museum

Lodi Ca currently has two museums, the Hill House MuseumBuilt at the turn of the century, Hill House was the home of George Washington Hill, his wife Mary Hill and their children, Nellie and Maurice. Mrs. Hill's half-sister, Daisy, also lived at Hill House. The house was moved in 1948 from its original location on School Street, across from the Lodi Post Office, to its present location at 826 South Church - a distance of about six blocks. Because of the move, required changes were made to bring the house up to city code. Changes, however, were primarily in the plumbing, electrical and heating systems, although an upper room was added at the time. Today, The Hill House is operated under the auspices of the Lodi Historical Society and the Hill House Committee. Volunteers conduct tours most Sundays from 1-4 PM. Special tours may be arranged by calling (209) 369-6073., a restored Queen Anne Victorian built around 1906 for a wealthy Lodian, the museum has all of the house's original furniture. Also, the San Joaquin County Historical Museum is in Lodi (at the Micke Grove Regional Park), and traces the history of the area through many exhibits and interactive displays. It is the largest museum complex in the county.

A science museum, called the World of Wonders, is soon to take home in the Downtown Lodi parking structure. It will feature interactive science exhibits, classrooms, and a retail store. It will be modeled after the San Franisco Exploratorium.

All but hidden by expansive stretches of vineyards and miles of almond, cherry and walnut orchards, the area beckons travelers to discover Lodi and the Lodi wine country.

Name: The origin of the city's name is unclear. Historians have not agreed whether Lodi was named after a winning racehorse, a bridge in Italy (site of a great Napoleonic battle), or a town in Illinois.

Trivia: Lodi Trivia

	Originally named Mokelumne, Lodi town was too often confused with nearby Mokelumne Hill and Mokelumne City.
	The fictional GI Joe character Flash was born in Lodi.
	Author Stephen King has mentioned Lodi in four of his books, including The Stand.
	A & W Root Beer was first concocted in Lodi by druggist Roy Allen in 1919.
	The first bottled wine cooler, known as the California Cooler, was invented in Lodi by Michael Crete and Stewart Bewley. Crete and Bewley later sold the company for $55 million.
	In May 2006 inhabitant Curtis Gokey attempted to sue the city of Lodi for damage to his car caused by a municipal dump truck. It emerged in court that he worked for the city of Lodi and was driving the dump truck at the time of the impact with his own car - the case was promptly thrown out. The story featured in a local newspaper, The Drudge Report, and BBC Radio Two's It's Been a Bad Week program.
	The small yet popular Lodi Ca Airport is home to the invention of skysurfing, as well as being the first test location of the Single Human Hover Platform
	"Lodi" is the title of a track from Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1969 album Green River. The refrain says, "Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again." Although songwriter John Fogerty wrote the song about being trapped in Lodi, California, about 75 miles from his hometown of El Cerrito, he has admitted in interviews that he had never actually been there, and picked its name for the song's title merely because it sounded like the name of a small town and but instead named the song after Lodi, Ohio, where Fogerty had visited in his youth. (according to John Fogerty's DVD he was stuck in Lodi). This (at first) raised the ire of some residents; the Lodi Chamber of Commerce, however, later capitalized upon this by producing car bumper stickers which read "This Bumper Got Stuck In Lodi."
