Dougherty (also, Amador's, Amador Valley, and Dougherty Station)[2] is an unincorporated community in Alameda County, California. It is located just north of Dublin,[2] at an elevation of 348 feet (106 m).
James Witt Dougherty purchased the land here in 1852, including a two-story adobe building.[2] A community grew up around the adobe, and was first called Amador's and Amador Valley after Jose Maria Amador the original owner of Rancho San Ramon (Amador).[2] The post office arrived in 1860 and renamed the place Dougherty Station.[2] The southern part of the settlement broke off and became Dublin.[2] The post office was renamed Dougherty in 1896 and closed in 1908.[2]
