Nevada City (originally, Ustumah, a Nisenan village; later, Nevada,
Deer Creek Dry Diggins, and Caldwell's Upper Store) is the county seat
of Nevada County, California, United States, located 60 miles (97 km)
northeast of Sacramento, 84 miles (135 km) southwest of Reno and 147
miles (237 km) northeast of San Francisco. The population was 3,068 as
of the 2010 Census.It was first settled by European-Americans in 1849,
during the California Gold Rush, as Nevada (Spanish for
"snow-covered", a reference to the snow-topped mountains in the area).
The Gold Tunnel on the north side of Deer Creek was the city's first
mine, being located in 1850. The first saw mill built in Nevada City
was on Deer Creek, just above the town, in August, 1850, and was built
by Lewis & Son, with a water wheel. In 1850â€"51, it was the most
important mining town in the state, Nevada County being the leading
gold-mining county in the state. In 1851, The Nevada Journal became
the first newspaper published in the town and county. The town of
Nevada was incorporated on April 19, 1856. In 1864, the word
“City†was added to the name to relieve confusion with the nearby
state of Nevada, and the town has legally been known as “Nevada
City†ever since. The former town of Coyoteville, California, later
became Nevada City's northwestern section.The Nevada City Downtown
