KLOC broadcasts from three radio towers in Hickman.
The first major settler of Hickman was Charles Dallas in either 1849 or 1850, and early maps even referred to the area as "Dallas". Dallas' daughter Mary married Louis McLean Hickman on February 1, 1860. Hickman served as mayor of nearby Stockton, California in 1869. In the 1860s Hickman owned a hardware store and 11,000 acre ranch where he grew grain, hay, olives, figs, oranges, grapes and other fruits. The advent of the railroad in 1891 led to large brick grain storage buildings. Hickman was renamed in 1891 by the Southern Pacific for Louis Hickman.
Hickman social life revolves around its school. Hickman Charter school district is a K-8 school district. After 8th grade, students can commute to one of the many local schools. Hickman Charter School has more students than native population and has attendance from students as far as Berkeley, California.
Hickman is a country town, and the most obvious form of income is agriculture. Almond orchards are plentiful, and there are several dairies. Foster Farms operates a dairy as well as several poultry farms, and there is a wholesale nursery raising trees, especially decorative trees like redwoods. A large rooster farm reputedly sells fighting cocks (although using such birds in fighting is illegal). There are also other forms of industry, including a multi-national mining equipment company, large nursery, a welding shop, two country stores, a cabinet maker, a music education company and Hickman Hat Rack Co.
Hickman has an unusual hydro-electric dam on one of its irrigation canals.
