What is the California gold country?
The Northern California foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are known as Gold Country because of its gold rush history. The Heart of the Gold Country is Amador, Placer, El Dorado and Nevada counties. The California Gold Rush had a dramatic impact in this area.

When you find a lot of gold it is called hitting the mother lode. That is why the Gold Country is also known as Mother Lode Country. The discovery of gold in this part of California forever made its mark on the land and the people. The land is marked by hydro mining and dredging the rivers for gold. The people that came to this rural, mountainous, hard but beautiful country stayed and became a diverse community.
