About Valley Springs, California
Valley Springs is a community of 3,779 people in Calaveras County, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Mi-Wuk and Yokuts people gathered acorns here for food and trade, and they left grinding rocks behind before gold miners pushed the Mi-Wuk deeper into the hills. The area's first saloon and store opened in 1849. Small farms, big ranches and stage stops with lodging soon followed, among them the Spring Valley House.
Shippers wanted cheaper freight, and timber and tourism to Big Trees needed a faster route, so the San Joaquin and Sierra Nevada Railroad laid narrow gauge track from Brack's Landing on the Mokelumne River. The line cost $409,570 and was completed that April. The first train rolled in on April 25, 1885, while the station was still a canvas tent, and the town became a freight center where riders could reach Stockton in 2.5 hours and San Francisco in 7.5.
- Named in 1872The area was first known as Spring Valley, the same name as the Spring Valley House stage stop. Robert Lee Eproson became the first postmaster in 1872, but another Northern California post office, in Colusa County, already used Spring Valley, so the new office became Valley Springs. Locals went on calling the region Spring Valley anyway.
- The fire of 1895In September 1895 a large fire burned much of the center of town. Residents rebuilt, but growth stayed under 1% a year. Electricity arrived in 1899, and around 1904 Southern Pacific widened the line to standard gauge. Even so, the population fell after 1910, and by 1923 only 350 people lived here.
- Cement for the Bay BridgeIn 1925 Southern Pacific extended the tracks 13 miles eastward to Kentucky House, where the Calaveras Cement Company needed them. Spur lines out of Valley Springs served the building of Pardee Dam in 1927 and of Hogan Dam in 1929, and cement shipped from here went into the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, San Francisco Airport, Central Valley dams and the McClellan and Travis Air Force bases.
- Growing with the reservoirsThe dam jobs brought people, and the town grew about 6% a year through the 1930s and 1940s. Growth slowed in the 1950s, then picked up again in the 1960s as Camanche Reservoir was built and Hogan Reservoir grew larger. In the 1970s Rancho Calaveras and the La Contenta golf course brought more newcomers.
