Few communities in California have a history as closely tied to the Gold Rush as Weaverville. Founded in 1850, it remains the seat of Trinity County, set beside Weaver Creek in the mountainous interior near the Trinity River and the Trinity Alps. Gold mining brought rapid growth, while Chinese merchants and miners established an enduring presence in the settlement. The Weaverville Historic District retains many 19th-century buildings, and the Taoist Joss House, built in 1874 for the Chinese community, is preserved as a California State Historic Park.
