This is another rail station mistaken as a community. Durham identifies it as a locality on the Southern Pacific RR. Gudde says the station was built in 1877-78. In 1911 a refinery was built nearby. A post office "to serve the refinery employees" was established in 1912, first called Marsh and then renamed Associated for the Tidewater Associated Oil Company that owned the refinery. It was not and never has been a community. Current maps show it is still an industrial area. Not notable as a railroad station. Glendoremus (talk) 00:32, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge into Golden Eagle Refinery. Doesn't appear to have been a community per se, but the information about the post office and renaming is worth having in the refinery article. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:18, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Golden Eagle Refinery. I updated the refinery article with text about the post office. I'd prefer to see a redirect here so as to help prevent an Avon article from being recreated as opposed to just deleting the Avon article. Cxbrx (talk) 12:58, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
