Malton was once a small community located in Glenn County, California. It is now considered a 'former settlement.' This means it was a place where people used to live, but it no longer exists as a town or village.

Malton: A Lost Place

Malton was situated in California, about 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) north-northeast of a town called Orland. It was located at an elevation of 253 feet (77 meters) above sea level. This community was connected by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Railroads were very important for travel and moving goods back then.

When Did Malton Disappear?

Malton was still shown on maps in 1917. After this time, it stopped appearing on maps. This suggests that the community likely became abandoned or was no longer considered an active settlement around that period. Many small towns in history have disappeared for different reasons, like changes in transportation or local industries.
