Yet another post office-not-a-town entry scraped from Durham's book of California place names. I verified that it was a post office, and that's as much as I could find; I have to guess that the local farmers after who it was named owned the house that people came to when picking up their mail, but whether it was actually at the coordinates given (unsourced) is anyone's guess.

Speedy delete Fails WP:V and WP:N that this is actually a notable community. Fourth-class post offices were just mail delivery points in a home or business, often named after the owner, not an indicator that this was the name of a cohesive settlement. Reywas92^Talk 18:30, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
