More about Raymond

Granite that built California

The Raymond-Knowles quarries just outside town produced 'Sierra White' granite - prized for its color, fine texture, and durability - and it became Madera County's most important mineral industry. The stone traveled statewide and shows up in countless California buildings and monuments; quarrying peaked around 1889-1895, 1903-1905, and 1920-1930.

Railroad & stagecoach days

Once called Wildcat Station, Raymond boomed after the Southern Pacific arrived in 1886, becoming a jumping-off point for stagecoach travelers headed to Yosemite before rail and roads reached farther into the mountains.

Land & living

Today Raymond is ranch-and-foothill country - quiet, historic, and among the most affordable acreage in the region.
