History & History Related Items

Markleeville history:

Jacob Marklee came here in 1861 building a toll bridge across a tributary of the Carson Rier. He staked a land claim in 1862 in what he thought was Nevada, but was later determined to be in California. When the Comstock Lode was discovered, the town was built on his land claim. His hopes of striking it rich in both the mines and by supplying freight to miners were dashed when he was killed in 1863 during a gunfight. The town later became the county seat for Alpine County. The courthouse is located on his cabin site. The Cabin is California Historical Landmark 240.

Markleeville became the county seat in 1875. The town had rebounded from the loss of the mines due to its location as a trade center for the many ranching and lumber businesses in the area. A bad fire in 1885 but the town rebuilt and continued on as county seat.
