History & History Related Items

Placerville history:

Placerville began as a "gold" town. One of its first known names was Dry Diggin's because the gravel had to be carried to water to pan for gold. Later it was known as Hangtown. Because of the wildness, there were many hangings in town. Though a few mines are still functioning, the area is now known for its agriculture, recreation and lumbering rather than for its gold.

Placerville California has had several name changes. It started as "Blood and Guts" in the mid 1800's. Settling families (mostly the women) complained of its' un-christian sounding name and it was changed to "Hangtown". (Appropriately named as public hangings were regularly done there.) It remained as such for several years until its current name. If you are traveling in the area, you can still see the old Hangman's platform that was used for public hangings.
