TOWN OF WOODBRIDGE - In 1852
Jeremiah H. Woods and Alexander McQueen established a ferry across the
Mokelumne River at this point. As a result, a new road from Stockton to
Sacramento by way of Wood's Ferry was established. In 1858 Woods built a
bridge at the site of the ferry from which the town, laid out in April
1859, took its name.
Location: On County Hwy Jl0, Woodbridge

as Woods Grammar School until 1922, when the building was dismantled.
