IMPERIAL
COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, USA

USA-California-Imperial
County
Gold
was allegedly found in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains, in Imperial County as early
as 1775 but very little hard evidence has been found to support this. Without
such, Imperial's claim to being the site of the first California gold strike
must be relinquished to Francisco Lopez's strike on March 9, 1842. Lopez found
gold in Placerita Canyon in Los Angeles County, east of Newhall. In November
the first California gold sale was recorded at the Philadelphia Mint. Estimates
of total gold production of Imperial County are in the range of 235,000 Troy
ounces.
