William Warnock of Goderich, On, CA is the Father of the Giant Pumpkin, he held three World Record titles; one in 1893 with a 365 pound giant, one in 1900 with a 400 pounder, and one in 1903 that weighed 403 pounds and he held that record for 73 years!

Midway, UT

I'm glad that someone mentioned William Warnock. The geneology of what we do passes through Howard Dill (whom much of the credit has to be given to) and goes directly to William.

Warnock may have held the record longer than anyone.
