Oroville Washington was a turn of the century gold mining town in Washington State’s Okanogan Valley.  The origin of Gold Digger’s name stems from the name of its home town.  “Oro” was the original name for the town which is Spanish for Gold.  In 1938, a local company named Oroville United Growers needed a label for their fruit.  Because of the town’s gold mining history, they thought “Gold Digger” would be an appropriate name for the label.  In the early seventies, the name of the company was officially changed to Gold Digger.  Gold Digger has since remained a viable Grower’s Co-Op and fruit packing establishment, holding one of the few accounts in the State with the world’s largest retailer.  Gold Digger has also since established retail gift and outlet stores, a vineyard with a 10,000 case winery, and also has branched into providing internet service to the Okanogan Valley.
