The first non-native families who inhabited Ceres were those of John Service, Cassius Warner, and Daniel Whitmore in 1867. Daniel C. Whitmore is considered the first founding patriarch of Ceres. He built his home in 1870, the Daniel Whitmore House at 2928 5th Street. That home still stands, fully restored by the city and the Ceres Historical Society. The Clinton Whitmore Mansion, built in 1903 is also owned by the City of Ceres.
In the early 1890s, outlaws Chris Evans and John Sontag robbed several Southern Pacific Railroad trains at Ceres and several other area locations. In the late 1930s, a labor camp was developed within the city of Ceres as part of the Federal Migratory Labor Camp Program.
The history of Ceres is recounted in Arcadia Publishing Company's Images of America series entitled, Ceres, by Jeff Benziger. It was released on August 23, 2010.
