The Old Auburn Historic District was the center of commerce during the early California Gold Rush era, with its close proximity to the Gold Country Mother lode.[4] It was one of the earliest mining camps in the state.[4] On April 25, 1851, the city of Auburn was declared the County Seat of Placer County.[4] In the early 1900s, the city became the largest plum producer in the nation, and had a large agricultural industry.[4]
