Nevada City
This photogenic compact town in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California, Nevada City sits along a waterway in mountain terrain with a compact central core of cafés and restaurants. The county seat of Nevada County, it was first settled in 1849 during the Gold Rush era, and that 19th-century character still shapes much of its downtown architecture.
