Knowles, California

Knowles (formerly, Dusy's Rock Pile) is an unincorporated community in Madera County, California. It is located 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Raymond, at an elevation of 928 feet (283 m).A post office operated at Knowles from 1902 to 1955. The name honors F. E. Knowles, owner of a local granite quarry. Knowles was a thriving granite quarrying community in the early 1900s, with a hotel, saloons, and a railroad stop, but by 1963 the town was described as a "ghost community". A granite quarry remains at the site today, although little else remains of the town.
