Henderson William Luelling (April 23, 1809 – December 28, 1878) was an early Oakland, CA settler, horticulturist, Quaker and abolitionist. He introduced varietal fruits to the Pacific coast, first to Oregon and later to California, and gave the Fruitvale district its name. In his later years, he led a Utopian community from California to Honduras, only to encounter overwhelming adversity, which sent him back to California.
