History & History Related Items Jackson history: Jackson is another of the Gold Rush towns in early California. For many years, it was known as a "Mother Lode Mecca." The community was born in 1848 when camp was set-up near a spring by Col. Alden Jackson. Later, many miners came to seek their fortunes. In 1862, the downtown area was consumed by fire. The most prominent mine here was the Kennedy Mine which began production in 1860. It was the deepest gold min in North America at 5,912 feet and closed in 1942. The last mine in Jackson closed in 1943. Here is a history page for Jackson along with some nice pictures. Try this mining history page for information about the gold mines from the past.
