Lassen Post Office Now Known as Janesville
November 14, 1923
On November 5th, the Postoffice Department changed the name of the Lassen postoffice to the old name that it was known by for years, namely Janesville. This is according to a notice by Postmaster Mathews of Susanville.
Ever since the name was changed from Janesville to Lassen the old residents of Janesville have been quietly working to have the old name restored and the action just taken by the Postoffice Department is the result of a petition that was circulated and then sent on to Washington.
The name of the town was never changed and the voting precinct, school and in fact everything but the postoffice was known as Janesville.
