In appreciation from Vince and Lois Motte

Vince Motte was born at home in Coalinga on the 6th of August, 1913. He is the youngest son of Westside pioneers Baptiste and Josephine Motte. Baptiste homesteaded, what is now Motte Canyon in the Jacalitos Hills south of Coalinga. Later he established a food delivery service and a market at the northwest corner of Fith and Cedar Streets. Vince was raised in Coalinga and graduated from Coalinga Union High School in 1933. He later took over his father's grocery business, B.M. Food Market. He married Lois in 1946. They raised three children, John, Sandra, and Barry.

This fountain is an expression of their love and appreciation for the City they cherish.
