It was the Ghiradelli Candy Company that started in Hornitos. They are now in San Francisco. The ruins from the Ghiradelli Candy Company in Hornitos still stand. There is just a piece of the wall left. Look up the name Hornitos and Ghiradelli Candy and you will find information about this.

Why did Mr. Ghiradelli move his family from the mining town of Hornitos? It was because the town had gotten pretty wild and he didn't want to raise his family there, so they travelled to San Francisco and established his business which still stands to this day.
