CA. 93932
On July 8, 1885, Lair Patterson applied for new post office located 7 miles south-east of Jolon and asked that it be named Lockwood Post Office. While records in the National Archives do not show the reason for his selection, it has been assumed by most local historians that he did so to honor Belva Ann Lockwood who was the first woman nominated for President of the United States. She was nominated twice, first in 1884 and then in 1888. The Lockwood office was authorized July 23, 1888 with Lair Patterson as the first postmaster.| HM Number | HM17RH |
