†Established
in Tulare County, into Inyo County when created.
‡Tecopa was established in San Bernardino County, reported
“into Inyo Co.” 11 June 1880; and back into San Bernardino 19
June 1880, where it was discontinued 23 May 1881. The change was either
a change of site or an error. Tecopa was
re-established in Inyo County 28 June 1881, and is since reported in that
county when operating.
