37°41′5.79″N 121°45′45.17″W / 37.6849417°N 121.7625472°W Laddville (or "Laddsville") is a former settlement in the western Livermore Valley of Alameda County, California.
It was located east of the settlement which eventually became Livermore. [1]
A hotel was started in 1855 by Alphonso Ladd, and the community that grew up surrounding the hotel became Laddville. [1] When the railroad was built through the Livermore Valley in August 1869, [2] [3] the station was placed west of Laddville near the nascent Livermore. [1] Through growth the city limits of Livermore came to extend over the site of Laddville. [1]
The track of the Western Pacific Railroad was laid to Laddsville yesterday, by a party working eastward.
