Kayote was once a small community located in Lake County, California. It is known as a "former settlement," which means it was a place where people used to live and work, but it is no longer an active town or village today.

Kayote was situated in the Coyote Valley. It was about 4 kilometers (or 2.5 miles) northeast of a town called Middletown.

What Was Kayote?

Kayote was a small community that existed for a short time. It was not a large city, but rather a place where a few people lived. Over time, people moved away, and the settlement became inactive. This often happened with small towns in the past.

The Kayote Post Office

One important part of Kayote's history was its post office. A post office is a place where people send and receive mail. The Kayote post office was open from 1859 to 1862.

Having a post office was a big deal for a small community. It meant that people could easily communicate with others far away. It also showed that Kayote was a recognized place, even if only for a few years. After 1862, the post office closed, and the community slowly faded away.
