Inscription.  Throughout Sunnyvale's history, orchard farmers have come from many cultures. One of the most prominent groups in Sunnyvale have been the Yugoslavs. On the adjoining panel are listed over 60 such families.

Orchards ranged from two to seventy acres in size. Most families bought small orchards and as availability of land and money allowed, they added to their holdings. The majority of the orchards were apricots followed by cherries and prunes. A few pear and walnut orchards were also added to the mix.
