History

The Old Auburn Historic District was the center of commerce during the early California Gold Rush era, with its close proximity to the Gold Country Mother lode. It was one of the earliest mining camps in the state. On April 25, 1851, the city of Auburn was declared the County Seat of Placer County. In the early 1900s, the city became the largest plum producer in the nation, and had a large agricultural industry.
