 | | Angels Camp, also known as City of Angels, is the only incorporated city in Calaveras County, California. |
 | | When the California Gold Rush started, they tried their hand at prospecting, but decided they didn't like the labor involved, so they set up a trading post, which became a camp, and eventually a town. |
 | | The placers around their camp were very productive, but gave out after a few years, and the population began to dwindle until Gold-bearing quartz veins were discovered in the town, which brought people back. |
