Nevada City, the "Queen City of the Northern Mines", became a town of 16,000 in the early 1850's following the discovery of gold on Deer Creek in 1849. Here is located the largest and best preserved historical downtown district in California Gold Country. As the county seat of Nevada County, Nevada City has maintained its position as the county's center of government, professional services and cultural activities since its beginning in 1851.HM Number | HMXO2 |
