Atolia, California

Atolia, California

Atolia is a ghost town in San Bernardino County, California, USA. It was the site of a tungsten mine that started production about 1905. The community was named after two mining company officials, "Atkins" and "DeGolia". At one time there were 2000 people living here. There was once a dairy, a movie theater, and the "Bucket of Blood" saloon. But, as of 2007, commercial operations have been abandoned.
