Davis is situated on land that was once home to the Indigenous Patwin. This southern branch of Wintuns was forced from their lands in the 1830s California Genocide. It involved a combination of smallpox, mass murders, and other diseases. Also, both the Mexican and American systems for Indigenous slavery. There are many Patwin burial sites throughout Davis, including at the UC Davis Mondavi Center. After the murder and expulsions of the Patwin, the territory that became Davis was created from Laguna de Santos Calle, one of California's most corrupt and complicated land grants. The 1852 Land Commission agreed with the US Attorneys, who claimed that the grant was fraudulent in all parts. Justice Ogden Hoffman, 1860 District Court ruling, stated that it was impossible to consider without disgust the "series of perjuries" that comprise the land grant's record. Jerome C. Davis was a prominent farmer who claimed land in Laguna de Santos Calle. He lobbied until the United States Congress to keep the land. In 1868, Davis was made a depot for the Southern Pacific Railroad. It was named "Davisville" in honor of Jerome C. Davis. In 1907, however, Davisville's post office changed the name of the town to "Davis". The name remained, and Davis was incorporated on March 28, 1917.
Davis was founded as a farming community. It is best known for its contributions to agricultural policy and animal husbandry. After the California State Legislature passed the University Farm Bill, Governor George Pardee chose Davis from 50 other locations to be the University of California's future home. The University Farm officially opened to students in 1908. In 1959, the farm was renamed to the University of California Davis as the seventh UC general university.
