History
The community was formerly known as Solid Comfort[3] and Johannesburg.[4]
The Solid Comfort post office opened in 1918, changed its name to Lokoya in 1925, and closed in 1951.[3] In the early twentieth century, Lokoya was the site of a popular resort on the slopes of Mount Veeder.[4] Guests would arrive in Oakville by rail and travel the remaining seven miles to Lokoya by stage.[5]
The Redwood Cemetery, along with the former settlement of Spruce Hill, California, is located to the southeast.[3]
