Lorin District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lorin district is located in the southern part of Berkeley, California. It was formerly the unincorporated town or settlement of Lorin, the last stop before Berkeley along the Berkeley Branch line of the Central Pacific (later, Southern Pacific). In the early 1900s, the people of Lorin elected to be annexed to the City of Berkeley, and the name vanished from use. The area is today mostly referred to as "South Berkeley".
Lorin is mentioned and is the setting for one scene in former University of California student Frank Norris' book The Octopus.
