	Coloma, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coloma is most noted for being the site where James W. Marshall first discovered gold in California, at Sutter's Mill in 1848, leading to the California gold rush.
		While some people still live in the area, Coloma is considered something of a ghost town, as civic buildings such as the jail have been abandoned and left to decay, and other buildings from its boom era (1847-1852) have been converted into museums and other historical displays.
		Coloma is on the South Fork of the American River that runs through the valley.

	Coloma, California History circa 1883
		The town with some history--no, the starting point of a history of El Dorado county, and of the total revolution in the history of the whole State, throwing her out of the lethargy and quietness of hundreds of years in a feverish excitement that kept her enchained for bout twenty-five years.
		The alarm was given out, and Coloma became the motto of the day, Coloma the longing of millions, and Coloma the endpoint of the trarvel* of thousands, whose starting points had been most every where on this globe.
		Coloma is located on the South Fork of the American river, in an altitude of 900 feet above the level of the sea, on the upper end of the Coloma basin, which is surrounded by hills from 800 to 1,000 feet higher up.

	Coloma
		Early spellings such as “Colluma” and “Culoma” eventually gave way to “Coloma,” and when El Dorado County was created in 1850, Coloma was chosen as the county seat, over strong objections from the residents of nearby Placerville and Diamond Springs who thought their towns should have that honor.
		Coloma was lucky in that it was a much more peaceful and quiet town than some of its neighbors, although it did have its instances of violence.
		The gold gave out quickly at Coloma, and when the county seat was moved to Placerville in 1857, only a handful of Chinese miners remained to work the placers.

	Coloma: Dovetail - PopMatters Music Review
		The instrumentation is so organic and interesting that you'd think Coloma ignored their electronic past for lounge band swing and club grooves.
		Electronic splashes still remain (an industrial breakdown during "Motorway Stray" is even more shocking than it would be without the horns and piano prominent during the rest of the song), but most of the album is performed by real, live, human musicians.
		Coloma named their album Dovetail after the dovetail joint, which is the carpentry trade's strongest.
