History

GREENWOOD: Originally called Long Valley, a trading post was opened here by trapper and tour guide John Greenwood in 1849. The first general store was opened by Lewis B. Myers, Nathan Fairbanks, and Louis Line. Greenwood soon boasted a theater, four hotels, 14 stores, and a brewery. The town became famous for its dry diggings, quartz, and hydraulic mining. The largest nugget found here weighed over two pounds. Among its illustrious citizens was John A. Stone, a California songwriter, who was buried here in 1863.

EL DORADO: Stretching from oak-studded foothills and the shores of Folsom Lake to the western shore of Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County is best known for the 1848 gold discovery at Coloma. Old Hangtown sprang up during the Gold Rush and was later renamed Placerville. The county name comes from the mythical land rich in gold sought by Spanish explorers. The first inhabitants of El Dorado County were the Maidu and Miwok Indians, followed by miners attracted to the area by the Gold Rush. El Dorado County was one of the original counties in California. The Pony Express Trail ran through the county approximately where Highway 50 is today, from April 3, 1860, to October 26, 1861. The first county seat was Coloma, and it was superseded by Placerville for this position in 1857. El Dorado means the gilded one in Spanish; a fitting name considering the mines in El Dorado County produced millions of dollars of gold.
