History

Yankee Jims was once one of the largest mining camps in Placer County during the California Gold Rush. The Yankee Jim's post office operated from 1852 to 1940.[2] The name comes from an Australian criminal who hid stolen horses at the site before gold was discovered there.[2]

The town site is marked by California Historical Landmark #398,[3] located on a ridge between the North and Middle forks of the American River.[4]

Yankee Jims today is a small town composed simply of a cluster of homes. Its population was 18 in 2016.
