Columbia (California) Halal Travel Guide

Columbia was founded in 1851, relatively late in the Gold Rush for founding towns, when a mining party camping overnight during a trip to Calaveras County stayed briefly to dry their blankets overnight after a rainstorm. One of the party decided to try panning in a nearby stream, and found Gold in his first pan. Within a few months, several thousand miners were in the vicinity, in one of the richer areas of placer mining. Although mining largely stopped because of the seasonal drying up of the stream, a town was laid out and built, largely on speculation that water for mining could be obtained by an ambitious project using wooden flumes and ditches to bring water from the Stanislaus River.

This water project was successful and Columbia became a thriving and wealthy Gold Rush town during the 1850s. Around 1860, however and the placer mining had petered out, and the town lost population and stagnated. This stagnation led to town to change little, and by the 1930s attempts were begun to preserved it as a good example of a Gold Rush town. In the 1940s it was purchased by the state of California and made into a State Historic Park.
