Welcome to Avena ...So far, we found very little information about Avena. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1> We've added Avena to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Avena - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Avena, please Contact Us. While we don't have the exact location of Avena , we believe that it would have been located within present day Inyo County<2>. While we don't have a date for the founding of Avena, you might consider that their post office opened in 1880. From The Origin of Certain Place Names,<3> the origin of Avena is described as "A Spanish word, meaning 'oats'" Time Zone: The area where Avena was located is in the Pacific Time Zone (PST/PDT) and observes daylight saving time Communities Also Named Avena ...Using our Gazetteer, we found that there are two California communities named Avena: This one is located in Inyo County and the other is located in San Joaquin County. Beyond California, there are 3 communities that are also named Avena - they are located in Illinois and Kentucky. For more information, see our Tidbits & Trivia Page for Avena. Adding Avena to Our Gazetteer ...As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future. The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Avena was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<4> For more details, see References and Mentions for Avena.
