Lovelock (formerly Lovelocks and Lovelocks Store) is an unincorporated community in Butte County, California.[1] It is located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west-southwest of Stirling City[2] and lies at an elevation of 3136 feet (956 m).[1]
The place gained its name when the post office moved northwards from its former location at George Lovelock's settlement in what later became known as Coutolenc. 'New Lovelock' then had a slaughterhouse, a store and a school, and the post office remained open from 1871 to 1922.[3] The healthy mountain air has drawn many to settle along the roads running north through the forest from the Skyway road and there is now a restaurant there called the Lovelock Inn.[4]
