Mokelumne Hill, California
Mokelumne Hill or "The Hill" as it was often referred to, was established during the Gold Rush of 1849. Within months the area was a permanent settlement with stone buildings as well as wooden and tent stores. The majority of the population in town consisted of French, German and Italian immigrants, as well as Americans from all across the country. Check the cemetery out for yourself, it tells you just who lived in Mokelumne Hill back then.
