Hammonton (formerly, Dredgertown and Dredgerville)[2] is a former settlement in Yuba County, California.

It is located 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south of Browns Valley,[2] at an elevation of 131 feet (40 m).

Hammonton was a company town for the Yuba Consolidated Mines, which dredged gold from the Yuba River floodplain.

Established in 1906, Hammonton had 250 residents, a store, service station, and swimming pool by 1938, when the townspeople were forced to move two miles so that the original townsite could be razed and dredged.
