Heeser Addition, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to be a very early (pre-1950) suburb of Fort Bragg, about which I can find nothing of note, other than the common mention in the description of some soil series. Gudde doesn't mention it, and given the lack of a reference in the article, it's likely Durham doesn't either, which means we are unlikely to find out why it has this name.

 * Delete - newspapers.com brings up two instances of an 1877 statement that construction was ongoing in the Heeser Addition, and two instances of a 1911 statement that someone was trying to buy part of the Heeser addition. Doesn't seem to be mentioned in an Arcadia Press book about Fort Bragg, nor in another Arcadia book about the Mendocino coast. 1914 Mendocino and Lake County history mentions a Mr. Heeser who owned land in Fort Bragg, but not the Heeser Addition. There's an uncited mention at the William Heeser article, so it may be worthwhile to redirect, although I'm not convinced that the redirect would have that much value as only a vague connection is made between the man and this site there.

 * In fact, the state park road is named after his son, August Heeser, not after William. August is the one who donated the land, in 1957. Uncle G (talk) 07:03, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
