Westville was a former settlement in Placer County, California.[1] Westville was located 14 miles (22.5 km) northeast of Foresthill,[2] at an elevation of 5249 feet (1600 m).[1]
The Westville post office operated from 1889 to 1919.[2] The name honors the first postmaster, George C. West.[2]
Westville was once a supply and staging center for forty mines in the area.[3] By 1925, only two residents remained, both of whom were arrested on October 8 of that year for possession of liquor, rendering Westville a "ghost city".[4] Little remains at the site today.
