Like most communities in Calaveras County, Cave City began as a mining town. It was an important placer gold mining site in the 1850s, and at its peak had hundreds of residents, a hotel, a store, and one of the few schools in Calaveras County. The population quickly declined, and by the 1950s no structures remained. [2] Today it is the location of the California Caverns, the most extensive system of caverns and passageways in the area.
Politics
In the state legislature, Cave City is in the 8th Senate District, represented by Democrat Angelique Ashby, [3] and the 5th Assembly District, represented by Republican Joe Patterson. [4] Federally, Cave City is in California's 4th congressional district, represented by Democrat Mike Thompson. [5]
