Waldo Junction (formerly Waldo and Cabbage Patch)[2] is an unincorporated community in Yuba County, California. It is located on Dry Creek 9.5 miles (15.3 km) northeast of Wheatland,[2] at an elevation of 256 feet (78 m).
A post office operated here from 1898 to 1915.[2] Originally called Cabbage Patch in 1852, the name changed to Waldo upon the opening of the post office.[2] The name honors William Waldo, an early settler.[2] Other sources, however, state the name honors Waldo Johnson, a prominent attorney of Marysville.[3]
