History
The depot was built in 1913 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It was constructed to a standard design and cost $8,000 (equivalent to $219,340 in 2021). The depot spurred nearby growth and the town of Orange Cove formed around the station. Through the 1930s, rail proved to be the premier method of freight shipment in the San Joaquin Valley.
The depot finally closed on October 14, 1977.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1978. The station building serves as Orange Cove City Hall.
