Ancestrally, local streams and tributaries of the North Yuba River washed large quantities of gold searing sediments through this area, leaving very rich gravel banks or "bars". In 1849, pioneers Miles and Andrew Goodyear and party prospected and settled here. News of their rich finds spread and the "boom" was on. Claims were restricted to only a single 30' square to the man with one company producing 646oz. in one week. After the initial rush moved on a long-standing community of up to 400 Chinese miners profitably re-worked the older diggings.
