Talk:Dogtown

Yes there are three Dogtown, California entries

There genuinely appear to be three Dogtowns in California:

the place now known as Magalia,

the ghost town in Mono County (also seemingly called "Dog Town")

the non-existent town (according to references it never existed, as opposed to being a ghost town like Columbia, California) in Calaveras County (shown on Rand-McNally Road Atlas)

And of course the Ocean Park (Santa Monica/Venice) entry too. -Willmcw 07:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are more than three in Caliornia

Dogtown, Marin County - on Shoreline Highway north of the turnoff to Bolinas; this was a logging town that was once the largest settlement in Marin; renamed "Woodville" so potential wives would find it more acceptable (it's said); posted that way by CalTrans for several decades, but now posted as Dogtown.Pablo Briones, Woodvile Ranch, Rose Briones
Three Dogtowns are listed in the California Secretary of State's 2005 Roster of Unincorporated Areas, in Calaveras County, Mariposa County, and San Joaquin County.pdf

I will fiddle with the article later.--Hjal 07:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
