Penn Valley

Penn Valley lies between the Yuba and Bear river drainages in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills, a position that has kept the community closely tied to the rural character of Gold Country. The town developed during the California Gold Rush and remains part of Nevada County, an area shaped by mining settlements, ranching and forested uplands. Rolling terrain, oak woodland and small farms define the local setting, while the annual Penn Valley Rodeo reflects the region’s continuing western traditions.
