Frequently Asked Questions

City Guide for Placerville, CA

Placerville was once known as Dry Diggins, after the 49ers method of hauling cartloads of dry dirt to running water where they separated gold from the soil. That name might not be glamorous, but it was less hostile than the town's later name, Old Hangtown. Three guesses about what sort of punishments were routinely doled out there.

After James Marshall discovered gold in nearby Coloma, the Gold Rush descended on the area now known as Placerville, California. At the time of its incorporation in 1854, Placerville was the third-largest city in California. A hub for Mother Lode mining operations, Placerville's Gold Rush past is still very much a part of its present. Tourism drives much of the local economy and you'll still find the occasional prospector down by the river panning, just in case. The entire town is a California Historical Landmark, so you'll trip of historically significant places here. View Placerville City Guide
