Carved from a wheat field in 1908 by Floyd L. Wisecarver, the subdivision consists of three, three block streets on either side of the Graceada Park. He donated some of the land for a park as did T. K. Beard. They named it for their wives, Grace Beard and Ada Wisecarver. The development of Modest was closely related to agriculture and irrigation. When the large wheat fields were subdivided into smaller parcels with the advent of irrigation in 1903, many farmers moved to town. Wisecarver himself was the secretary of the Modesto Chamber of Commerce and promoted the growth of the city and his subdivision.
