Material to salvage from deleted article New Jerusalem, San Joaquin County, California

[edit]

I just noticed that the place name article was deleted (correctly, since there is no place by that name -- just the school and airport); one suggestion in the deletion discussion was "merge/redirect" ,which seems to me a good idea. Here's some material from a wayback'ed save of the article, which I don't have time to do anything with at the moment, but will come back to when I have the chance.

New Jerusalem is an unincorporated community in San Joaquin County, California. It is located 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Tracy, at an elevation of 59 feet (18 m), and hosts the New Jerusalem Airport.

History

New Jerusalem takes its name from New Jerusalem School, founded in 1874. Local pioneer Henry Ebe, whose family were Dunkard Brethren, donated the land for the school, stipulating that it take that name.[2]
