Cemeteries in Drytown (Unincorporated area)

Amador County, California, United States
Drytown, California, is the oldest community in Amador County, established during the early days of the California Gold Rush. Settled in the late 1840s by miners of European and American descent, the town was named for Dry Creek, which often ran dry in the summer months. Once a thriving mining town with a population exceeding 10,000, it served as the county seat until 1854. Following the decline of gold mining, Drytown saw a dramatic population drop and transformed into a quiet rural settlement. Over time, the area became known for its preserved historic buildings and small-town character. Today, Drytown remains an unincorporated community with deep ties to Gold Rush history. The Drytown Cemetery, established in the 19th century, serves as the final resting place for many of the area's earliest settlers and continues to reflect the legacy of this once-booming mining town.
