About French Gulch, California

A party of Frenchmen is said to have done the first mining at French Gulch in 1849 or 1850. After the Washington Quartz Mining Company found its claim, the Shasta Courier reported in March 1852 that the diggings were so rich that miners were tearing down their houses to chase the leads that ran under them.

French Gulch grew from Morrowville, a camp that French miners founded nearby in 1849 and that later moved to the present site. It became the center of one of the richest gold districts in California, and as a supply and stopping place it rivaled Shasta. From 1856 to 1858 French Gulch was the trailhead on the western branch of the California-Oregon Trail, and St. Rose Catholic Church was founded there in 1856.
