    U7 177. Nevada City in the Fifties Nevada City, one of the early mining towns, is located at a place where gold was discovered September, 1849. It was first known as Deer Creek Diggings and later as Caldwell’s Store. In 1850 it took the name of Nevada or Nevada City. When Nevada County was created in 1851, it was made the county seat and has so remained. Quartz mining developed here at a very early day and is still extensively carried on.
