Los Angeles was in 15th place with a mere voters. With the increasing population came a temperance league, a Methodist Episcopal Church and agitation for a less morbid name. Placerville had been suggested as early as It became official when the city was incorporated in The same year, an election was held to try to wrestle the county seat of government away from Coloma, but Placerville was not the only competitor.
Three other communities joined in the running. Among the rivals none could muster enough votes to upset Coloma. Two years later, Placerville tried again, and this time the contest was limited to just the two towns.
Again, the official vote showed Coloma the victor, but a group of indignant Placerville citizens called a meeting to air their suspicions of ballot box stuffing and election fraud. Apparently, the evidence supporting the charges was sufficient to convince the State Legislature to settle the matter once and for all. So, by an act of the Legislature, the county seat was moved to Placerville On July 6, , Placerville was nearly destroyed by a fire, and as local mining declined, Placerville gained new life from the Comstock silver strike in Nevada in Throughout the 's Placerville had been the western terminus for the Overland Trail.
The year saw the new beginning of a massive reverse migration. From to , the Placerville-Carson Road later U. Highway 50 was built witnessed the greatest era of freighting and staging by horse-drawn vehicles ever known.
Due to dispute with the railroad, the City of Placerville disbanded in and incorporated again in Today Placerville remains the hub of the Mother Lode.
The industry has turned from mining to lumber, agriculture, light manufacturing, tourism and recreation and is famous for its vineyards and production of fine wines.
Placerville remains the location of the offices of the El Dorado County government, but when the city and its rich history are recalled, it is the colorful name of Hangtown which has endured. Not many towns can boast of such a structure in the middle of their town. It has its own history, and in its day served a most vital and important role.
It was first called "the Plaza". Placerville suffered three fires in which destroyed a good portion of the business section. The citizens realized the need for an alarm system to quickly call their volunteer fire department, so a bell was ordered from England to serve their purpose. First a 25 foot high wooden tower was built in , and then in a steel structure was built to replace it. This tower rose 50 feet from an 11 foot square concrete base, with a drinking fountain in the center.
It had cast-iron ornaments topped with a weather vane and featured a miniature bronze fireman holding aloft a red globe containing an electric light.
When completed it was presented to the city on September 8, during their Admission Day celebration,. The Tower was dismantled and moved to Cannon Hill in Cannon Hill received its name because in the early days, there was on top of the hill a National Guard Armory that had a mounted cannon in front of the building and thus the name "Cannon Hill" was given to the area.
Electrical difficulties in ringing the bell from Cannon Hill resulted in the bell being moved back to the plaza in It stood there through the years until a car struck the Plaza in , almost toppling over the bell. It had become somewhat shabby over the years and some were in favor of its removal.
But the old timers, remembering why it was there, insisted it should be saved. Finally, in , the City Council and the Placerville Fire Department voted to renovate the structure and the project was completed in with an electric siren installed to replace the new silent bell for the second time. The first electric siren was installed by the late Joseph Leonardi assisted by several linemen of the old Western States Gas and Electric Co. This occurred sometime between and shortly before the Ohio House burned.
Along with the installation, three other sirens were installed. The tower has watched most of Placerville's history pass beneath it, especially in the days when the plaza was the center of life. People met beneath its bell to share the news, discuss the weather and to watch the world go by. Celebrations were big occasions in days gone by with bands, parades, dances, speeches and picnics, and they usually were centered on the Plaza.
Pictures taken on Main Street on these special days show large crowds, and in the background, the Bell Tower, with glorious decorations of bunting, flags, and garlands. Even today, a long standing tradition of decorating the Bell Tower on the 4th of July remains.
In the postmaster of Placerville had a problem. And it was growing. The Contract carrier who hauled the mail from Placerville over the Sierra had disappeared. Letters were piling up in the office like the snowdrifts outside, and they were going nowhere. First the carrier's partner was killed. Then his mules had frozen to death in a blizzard. But it may have been the snowy death of his horse that caused him to break his contract and vanish. Much of California's mail, letters from gold miners, cow punchers, ranchers, and anybody else who was separated from loved ones, was piling up in the Placerville Postmaster's office, But between Placerville and the mail's next stop rose the Sierra Nevada mountain range, 10, feet of snow-crested granite that had just defeated the only man willing to carry mail over it.
The only man but one. Some days later, as the postmaster pondered his dilemma, a year-old Norwegian named John Thompson walked into his office. Thompson explained that his gold mining efforts had not panned out.
He said he wanted to try carrying the mail over the Sierra, in winter, on his back. And he just vanished. I don't have the authority to hire you.
Thompson showed his determination by returning to the post office every morning for five days. But remember, I don't have the authority to pay you or hire you. He was soon carrying sacks of letters weighing 60 to 90 pounds over the snowy peaks. Leaving Placerville elevation 1, feet every two weeks, he hiked over 8, vertical feet up to the Sierra summit, then down to Genoa, Nevada, near Carson City.
The first half of the journey, Placerville to the peak, took two days. Whether you are looking for the perfect pumpkin or Primitivo, Cabernet or Christmas tree, the Apple Hill Growers are looking forward to sharing their bountiful backroads with you.
