This Carson Trail stagecoach stop marked the beginning of the ascent or end of the descent from the thousands who traveled to help found the State of California in the 1850s and 1860s. From 1852 on very rich surface diggings were found here in ancient gravel beds. Many tunnels were dug in the surrounding hills to locate more gold. One of the gold rush's richest mines has a preserved opening in the basement of Smith Flat House. This Blue Lead Mine extends all the way to the American River and has made Hangtown Creek which runs through old town Placerville a year round creek. This area became a prosperous mining camp as well. Ranching and logging kept the Smith’s Flat area going after the mines were shut down. Smith Flat Road became part of California's first state highway which was built in the 1890s connecting Placerville with Lake Tahoe.
