Liberty, San Joaquin County, California

Liberty is a ghost town in San Joaquin County, in the U.S. state of California.

History

Liberty was established in 1852.[1] A post office was opened at Liberty in 1860, and remained in operation until 1874.[2] With the construction of the railroad in the late 1860s, business activity shifted to nearby Galt, and the town's population dwindled.[1] As of 2024, the Galt Historical Society maintains The Liberty cemetery which is east of highway 99 at Liberty Road.
