Quarter of a mile due north of Glenview Cemetery and west of Justice School stood a pioneer town first called Mackville. Its name was later changed to Dogtown because numerous stray dogs were turned loose there after being retired from the thriving dog track, and the town was said to have a mercantile, a blacksmith, two hotels, two saloons, and three brothels. At Dogtown Cemetery, marked by a marble arched monument, Bernard Poppe, Lizette Poppe, and baby Clara Simpson are the only remaining graves, as many others were moved to Glenview in the 1920s. Bernard Poppe, a Russian immigrant born in 1802, worked for John Sutter at French Gulch after leading a wagon train to California in 1849. In 1851 he purchased land along the south side of Collier Road from Dr. Thomas Elliott, land normally called Poppe Ranch. Bernard and Lizette Poppe were laid to rest in 1885 and 1883 respectively.
