Hoff was once a small place in Merced County, California. It is no longer a town or settlement today. This means it is a "former settlement," like a ghost town that has disappeared over time.

What Was Hoff?

Hoff was a small community that existed for a while in California. It was located near the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. This railroad was very important for travel and moving goods across the country.

Where Was Hoff Located?

Hoff was about 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) east of a town called Atwater. It was situated at an elevation of 167 feet (51 meters) above sea level. This area is in the central part of California.

When Did Hoff Exist?

Hoff appeared on maps made by the USGS until at least 1918. The USGS is a science agency that studies the Earth. Its maps show places that were important at the time. After 1918, Hoff likely became less active and eventually disappeared from maps as a populated place.
