Formally, Arbor. Although no longer in existence, in 1920 this area was a vital agricultural shipping center known as “Arbor.” The focal point of Arbor was the Lone Tree Shipping Company founded in 1926 by Charles Douglas. The shipping company, located on the south side of Lone Tree Way, just east of the tracks, was a cooperative consisting of packing sheds, a large drying yard, and a spur line. The buildings were removed sometime between 1949 and 1959, as they no longer show up on the 1959 Antioch aerial photo. The Arbor store and service station were located across Lone Tree Way. All remnants of the residence, store, and service station were removed so a suburban wasteland could be constructed. The above aerial photograph, taken in 1949, shows both the Arbor co-op and service station.
