Henderson Luelling


Henderson William Luelling (April 23, 1809 – December 28, 1878) was an early Oakland, CA settler, horticulturist, Quaker and abolitionist. He introduced varietal fruits to Oregon and later to California, and gave the Fruitvale district its name.

In many records his family name is spelled Lewelling but his grave marker says Luelling. At some point Henderson changed the spelling of the name. Similarly, some records list his birth year as 1809 or 1810, and his death year as 1878 or 1879.
