Welcome to the Nevada County Wiki, serving the Nevada County, CA community since 2011!

Just like

Wikipedia, this page is designed to allow you to search, discuss, and edit everything that happens in this county!

The Nevada County Wiki Project was started on July 5, 2011, by four Nevada Union alumni, hoping to create a mass directory of everything related to Nevada County. On this wiki, you can find information about local businesses, find out what events are coming up, or even where you can go to get coffee and enjoy free wi-fi. Anything that has to do with Nevada County belongs on this site! The best part is, this wiki is kept up to date by its users; anyone can add or edit content on this site, just sign up for a free account and click "edit" on any of the pages. By having everyone be able to edit content, all the information is provided by the experts of Nevada County- the locals themselves!

So dig in, swirl your goldpan around, and see what Nevada County has to offer.

If you see something missing, or not done properly, feel free to add or edit.
