Utah Condensed Milk Company Plant
621 3rd Street
Galt
Built 1917
Destroyed By Fire in 1992
The Utah Condensed Milk Company Plant, known locally as the Sego Milk Plant, was
built in 1917 to provide a market for the dairy farms in this part of the Sacramento
Valley. Fresh milk was hauled to the plant twice a day to be processed into
condensed milk, evaporated milk, powdered milk and powdered ice cream.
On November 24, 1992, the deserted plant was destroyed by fire. Only the water tank
still stands on the deserted lot beside the railroad tracks. The photograph of the fire is from the
excellent and informative website of the
Galt Area Historical Society.
