History & History Related Items Grass Valley history: When their starving cattle went off in search of food, the equally hungry immigrants followed them. They were led to the area of Grass Valley and its lush underbrush and growth. They were not aware of the hugely rich quartz deposits that would make Grass Valley the premier gold mining region of the "mother lode" area. None of the mining operations are active today, but the area is still thriving as a recreation and retirement center.
