Wikipedia, July 29, 2019 (Nevada City, California; City of Nevada City; Nevada City (originally, Ustumah, a Nisenan village; later, Nevada, Deer Creek Dry Diggins, and Caldwell's Upper Store) is the county seat of Nevada County, California; it was first settled in 1849, during the California Gold Rush, as Nevada; town of Nevada was incorporated on April 19, 1856. In 1864, the word "City" was added to the name to relieve confusion with the nearby state of Nevada, and the town has legally been known as "Nevada City" ever since. The former town of Coyoteville, California [no access points in OCLC], later became Nevada City's northwestern section; 39°15ʹ41ʺN 121°1ʹ7ʺW)
