Placer County

Placer is the Spanish word for gravel deposits containing gold. Placer County was formed in 1851 from portions of Sutter and Yuba Counties and was aptly named for its rich gold deposits. A decade later, new railroad lines accelerated the county's growth. Today, Placer is a thriving, growing county steeped in natural beauty and history.
