Liberty, San Joaquin County, California

Liberty is a ghost town in San Joaquin County, in the U.S. state of California.

History

Liberty was established in 1852.[1] A post office was opened at Liberty in 1860, and remained in operation until 1874.[2] With the construction of the railroad in the late 1860s, business activity shifted to nearby Galt, and the town's population dwindled.[1] The Liberty cemetery, East of highway 99 at Liberty Road is now cared for by the Galt Historical Society.

gollark: Better hurry up.
gollark: My current phone is somewhat cryoapiocryocryoforms and doesn't support them (it's annoying, since it prevents me from storing the entire contents of Wikipedia on my phone), but I figure that older/low-end ones with just 16GB of storage should.
