Auburn

Auburn occupies a ridge in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California. The city is the seat of Placer County and grew from a Gold Rush-era mining camp; its Old Town preserves a compact streetscape of nineteenth-century commercial buildings. East of downtown, Auburn State Recreation Area extends along the North and Middle Forks of the American River, which meet in steep, oak-lined canyons. Auburn also developed on the route of the Central Pacific Railroad, a legacy still woven into the town’s identity. Its historic centre provides a useful starting point for discovering California’s former gold-mining country and nearby river trails.
