Hammonton was a company town for the Yuba Consolidated Mines, which dredged gold from the Yuba River floodplain. Established in 1906, Hammonton had 250 residents, a store, service station, and swimming pool by 1938, when the townspeople were forced to move two miles so that the original townsite could be razed and dredged.[2] In 1957, the residents were again relocated, this time to Linda, so that the new townsite could also be dredged; Hammonton ceased to exist at that time.[3] The Yuba Goldfields now cover the townsites.
A post office operated at Hammonton from 1906 to 1957.[1] The name is in honor of W.P. Hammon, gold-dredging company official.[1]
