Jackson is a town in and the county seat of Amador County, California. Jackson was founded by gold seekers in 1848 and the camp grew quickly, as besides being a popular mining spot, it was also a convenient stopping place on the road from Sacramento to the Southern Mines. The camp became an important supply and transportation center for the neighboring towns, and by 1850 the population had reached an estimated 1,500. Jackson grew first as a watering hole for cattle, then as one of the earliest and most durable of the Mother Lode's hard rock mining areas. In 1853, Jackson became the county seat of newly formed Amador County, California. Previously, from 1851 to 1852, it had been the county seat of Calaveras County. Placer mining gave out by the 1860s and was replaced by hard rock mining which continued until October 1942 when the US government passed the War Production Board Limitation Order which signaled the demise of gold mining in California.
