History

Lockeford is registered as California Historical Landmark #365. The town is named after Dean Jewett Locke, who, with his brother Elmer, settled in the area in 1851. Dean Locke then established a ranch and later the town in the region. It was Dean Locke’s wife Delia who first coined the name “Lockeford” in 1859, referencing the ford that he built across the Mokelumne River. Delia Locke’s diaries chronicled the early history of Lockeford and her family’s history in founding the town. They are available at the University of the Pacific.
