What Was

In 1854, L. Kenyon established a trading post on his ranch at Ragtown, on the path of the California Trail. In 1861, the rival community of Centerville sprung up one and a half miles to the north, boasting of a hotel and a ranch.

What is

A mystery waiting to be uncovered. Topozone lists Centerville as a historical locale, but the coordinates it gives are 2.5 miles to the WNW. One and one half miles to the north would put the location at the end of Trento Lane.
