Diamond Springs

Diamond Springs is best known in California for its place in the Gold Rush-era Mother Lode. Set in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, this El Dorado County community lies south of Placerville, where Highway 49 follows a historic corridor through former mining country. The South Fork American River runs through the nearby foothill landscape, while oak-covered slopes, ranchland and rural properties give the area its inland character. Its name recalls the local springs, and the community remains linked to the wider story of California’s 19th-century mining boom.
