Fruitvale
In the early days, Fruitvale was a stopping place on the L & N Railway. It was especially known as an area devoted to small fruits and the tomato industry. The produce grown at that time included asparagus, strawberries, apples, peaches, pears, plums and cherries. In 1903, the town boasted three groceries, a blacksmith, a sawmill, a shipping agent, and a telegraph office that was open during June and July for the shipping season.
Today, Fruitvale is still a center for agricultural excellence. Today, cotton is king, as in the rest of Crockett. But you can still find more fruit here than anywhere else in the county. Among the goodies that hungry consumers look forward to are peaches, muskadines and apples in season.
