In a place somewhat distanced from the small creek its name has roots in,  sits a city whose name is steeped with the history of a late 1800s gunfight over land and the railroad, Western turmoil comparable to the O.K. Corral,  The place is Dinuba, a small Fresno County town, named by James Patterson, one of the “Mussel Slough Five” convicted in the wake; the “Mussel Slough Five” were a group of settlers determined to prevent the railroad’s eviction efforts. Anti-railroad sentiment was at a pinnacle and the five men were widely regarded as heroes. The history of the name, is a reference made to the Danubian people, who warred with the Romans and Greeks, and were known for their tenacious and dogmatic war efforts; Patterson imagined a similar stance against the railroad.
