The story so far

Ducor, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Ducor yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Ducor is a census-designated place (CDP) in Tulare County, California, United States. The population was 616 at the 2020 census, up from 612 at the 2010 census. Ducor is an abbreviation of an earlier name, Dutch Corners, which was given because several early settler families were German. The word "Dutch" in this case derives from German deutsch "German".

Its first post office opened in 1907. Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 612 in 2010, 616 in 2020.
