The original location of Orestimba, meaning
meeting place in
Yokuts, was the meeting place for
Mission padres and local Yokuts Indians. Later Orestimba was moved east for the railroad. The name changed from Orestimba to Timba. Orestimba was formed in 1854 as John M. Newsome was the first township supervisor appointed by the judges of the newly formed Stanislaus County, which was formed out of
Tuolumne County, California in the same year. ==Orestimba Landmark==
