Auburn . . . As It Was Then
"Gold! Gold! Eureka! I found it!" It was in the Auburn Ravine, Rich Ravine and Baltimore Ravine waterways where these exuberant cries first echoed. The Chana, Woods and Stevens parties were all part of the early exploring groups in search of gold in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. May 16, 1848, was the date most remembered by Claude Chana--when he discovered gold in Auburn Ravine. Chana's lucky find was the first gold discovery in Placer County.
The area quickly developed into a robust mining and supply camp, and it became officially known as Auburn in 1849. In 1850, the population had grown to 1,500, and Auburn became the seat of Placer County in 1851. First on horseback and mule, then by wagon and stagecoach, the settlers traversed along Nevada, Sacramento, Auburn Folsom and Foresthill trails. The trails would later become commercial and residential streets, and they are still in use today. The Central Railroad came to Auburn in 1865 following a heated contest with its competitors. Auburn was first incorporated in 1860 and again in 1888. The stately Placer County Courthouse was constructed in 1898 at the site of the 1853 Court House Building structure.
As It Is Now
Auburn is bursting with energy, optimism and spirit as in the "Days of '49." Emphasizing the endurance rides and runs of eons past, today the spirited Tevis Cup ride and the UltraMarathon run combine the best of the original trails winding through numerous mining camps and ending near the Auburn Ravine--where it all began back in the spring of 1848.
The City of Auburn has 12,500 residents within the city limits and an estimated 44,000 population in the greater Auburn area. Auburn owns and operates the Auburn Municipal Airport.

Visitors from out of town can stay at the Auburn Holiday Inn, with 96 rooms, conference rooms, nearby restaurants and located an easy walking distance to all business districts.

Auburn has been the filming locale for such movies as "Overboard," "Phenomenon," "Rocky and Bullwinkle," "Breakdown," and "XXX."
