Sutter Creek, CA
Sutter Creek (formerly named Suttersville) is a city in Amador County, California. The population was 2,501 at the 2010 census, up from 2,303 at the 2000 census. It is accessible via State Route 49. The community takes its name from nearby Sutter Creek, which in turn has the name of early California developer John Sutter. Sutter Creek became a destination for fortune hunters. A post office was established in 1852, and Sutter Creek became a town in 1854 that incorporated in 1913. Gold-bearing quartz deposits were discovered in 1851, and mining those deposits for gold became the mainstay of the local economy for many years. With the prosperity brought by quartz mining, Sutter Creek became a boomtown.
Today, Sutter Creek is a tourist town with many shops and restaurants. The town itself is registered as California Historical Landmark #322. Notable historic landmarks include Knight Foundry and the nearby Kennedy Mine.
