    About The Region

    Calaveras County: Where Gold Rush History Meets Natural Wonder

    Nestled in California's stunning Sierra Nevada foothills, Calaveras County represents one of the state's most historically significant and naturally beautiful regions. Named after the Spanish word for "skulls" due to skulls found by early explorers along the Calaveras River, this county covers approximately 1,020 square miles of diverse terrain ranging from gentle rolling foothills to towering mountain peaks reaching over 8,000 feet in elevation.

    The county gained international fame through Mark Twain's celebrated short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," published in 1865. This literary connection continues to draw visitors to Angels Camp, where the annual Jumping Frog Jubilee has been held since 1928, celebrating the area's unique cultural heritage and whimsical spirit.
