Prattville, for those who just tuned in was town in Plumas County, in what is now Lake Almanot. In 1914, the last remnants of it was wiped out in preparation to flood Big Meadows to create Lake Almanor.

In the early 1900s, deed restrictions were common practice . Common restrictions would prohibit the sale property based ethnicity, such Chinese and /or consumption/manufacture alcohol. On June 11, 1875 David Boyer purchased a lot in Prattville from the Pratt family. The deed stated: “to have and to hold the same one as it is used for mercantile or mechanical business or for dwelling house or lawful or legitimate purpose, except hotel, restaurant, boarding house of house of ill fame.” Since the Pratt family operated a hotel there, this would eliminate competition. Boyer would operate a saloon. By the end of year, Boyer sold out and moved to Susanville.
