Cemeteries in Ione (City)
Amador County, California, United States
Ione, located in the western part of Amador County, California, began as a supply center for gold miners in the 1850s rather than a mining town itself.
Originally part of Rancho Arroyo Seco under Mexican rule, the area developed rapidly after California’s statehood in 1850. Early settlers included Americans and European immigrants, especially those from Ireland and Germany. Ione became a key transportation hub, with the arrival of the railroad in the 1870s fueling further growth. The town was incorporated in 1953 and is also known for housing Preston Castle, a former reform school built in 1894.
Cemeteries such as the Ione Public Cemetery and Preston Cemetery preserve the stories of Ione’s early pioneers and institutional history.
