Return to Index History & History Related Items New Almaden history: New Almaden was named for the Almaden mercury-producing mines in Spain. The local Ohlone Indians dug up the cinnabar here for their red paint. This ore, cinnabar or mercury sulfide, was the first mineral discovery in California and eventually became the richest mine in the state. By 1845, Andres Castillero had been granted title to the lands. In 1846, The Barron, Forbes Co. took over the land and began mining operations. They operated many furnaces to extract out the mercury. The mines operated until the early 1970's. Many homes from the mining days are still standing today. Most of the owners, workers and others associated with the mines, lived in New Almaden. Some of the historical sites are the New Almaden Community Club, the Hacienda Hotel site and the Hacienda Cemetery. A history page about the mines. Another good history on the mines of the area.
