Logtown, California
Logtown, California, is a former mining town located on California State Route 49 about southwest of Placerville in El Dorado County, California.
In the 1800s Logtown, also known as Empire City, was a community of 800 people, having “not less than 20 stores, two blacksmith shops, two taverns, shoemakers, bakers, carpenters, and one gambling house." However, the town gradually declined, and the United States Geological Survey inadvertently dropped Logtown off the map, marking it only as an historical site. In 2018 Logtown residents successfully petitioned to have the town put back on the map.
