Welcome to Stateline!
Stateline (formerly Lakeside and Laphams) is a former unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California, now incorporated into South Lake Tahoe, California. It lies at an elevation of 6,279 feet (1914 m) above sea level. As its name suggests, it is at the state line with Nevada, and mirrors the adjacent community of the same name.
The name Laphams commemorates William W. Lapham who opened a hotel here in the 1850s. The pony express route ran through the community circa 1861 on the leg between Friday's Station and Yanks. A post office operated at Stateline from 1901. It was along the Lincoln Highway Sierra Nevada Southern Route by 1916. The locale acquired the name Lakeside between 1930 and 1955; then was changed to Stateline thereafter. The community was a subject in an interstate border dispute. After a 1980 US Supreme Court ruling, the community of Stateline was nominally moved east, and the California portion dissolved into South Lake Tahoe.

The Lincoln Highway was the first transcontinental road for automobiles in the United States. It was established in 1913, spanning 3,389 miles, from Time Square in New York City to Lincoln Park in San Francisco. In California, portions of Interstate 80, most of U.S. Route 50, and most of old U.S. Route 40 are alignments of the Lincoln Highway. The "Pioneer Route" branch of the Lincoln Highway passed from Carson City through South Lake Tahoe, on its way to Placerville and eventually to Sacramento, where it rejoined with the Northern or Donner Route.
