Leliter, California (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

In spite of being the location of a post office, everything I could find indicates it was a rail location, with one source referring to it as "Leliter siding". It was used as a staging area for construction of the California Aqueduct, and possibly there was a work camp here at the time, but not too long after that the rails were taken up. I found one site with some pictures ostensibly taken there, but all they show is an array of concrete foundations which one would expect to support structural steel posts: they suggest a water tower or hopper, not anything like commercial or residential structures. At any rate even the ghost town websites seem to simply assume this was a town rather than report any thing that shows it was a town. The ever-reliable California railroad regulators approved the closing of a non-agency station here, and that and the post office are as close as anything gets to showing this was a town, and they aren't close enough. Note that it is necessary to put the name in quotes when using Google, because otherwise it makes lots of false matches. Mangoe (talk) 06:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
