Book Title: History Of Butte County

NELSON.

    Nelson was laid out by the California and Oregon Railroad Company in 1873,
being situated on railroad land. It lies in Oregon township, thirteen miles
south of Chico. It derives its name from A. D. Nelson, who was one of the first
who located in this section. Most of the buildings were erected by R. F.
Dockery. Some years since he built a large brick store, with a hall in the
second story, used by the Good Templars. The two-story hotel at this place has
been run by the Harding brothers since 1876. Nelson has two large warehouses, a
store, blacksmith-shop and a saloon. It is surrounded by as fine wheat-producing
land as can be found in the state, and is one of the great shipping points of
the county for this cereal.
