History

El Dorado County was formed in 1850 from parts of Placer and Sutter counties. The county was named after the mythical city of El Dorado, which was said to be located somewhere in the area.

Fremont and Kit Carson, who were looking for a route to the Pacific Ocean.
In 1848, gold was discovered in the area, and the California Gold Rush began. Thousands of miners flocked to the area, and many of the towns in El Dorado County were founded during this time.
