History

Felton was first laid out in 1868 by Edward Stanly. It is debated among historians who the town is named after. Some claim it was Charles Norton Felton (1828-1914), a businessman and civic leader from Yuba County, and others offer evidence it was John Brooks Felton (1827-1877), a lawyer and mayor of Oakland. The Felton Post Office was founded on December 14, 1870, and the town of Felton was incorporated on April 14, 1884.1
