Locke is a Delta town that was once home to Chinese immigrants who searched for gold and were tasked with building the Delta levees. At its peak, Locke is said to have had four restaurants, a half-dozen markets, five brothels, two slaughterhouses, a flour mill, canneries, speakeasies and an opera. It's now an artist colony that can be missed in a blink of an eye.
