It is a California Historical Landmark.[1] HistoryMiddle Bar was founded in 1850 by English miners during the California Gold Rush.[2] A mine in the area produced gold quartz.[3] In 1851, the Middle Bar Bridge was built over the Mokelumne River to handle the large amount of gold seekers coming through the area. The following years, 1852, a flood washed the bridge away. Another bridge was built with claims stating it was high enough it would not get washed away. It was finished in November, 1852, and cost $25,000 to build. It stood for approximately ten years until another flood dislocated the bridge.[4] After the first gold rush, the area experienced a second round of increased population in the 1920s during a smaller mining rush. Eventually, the homes of Middle Bar were purchased by the East Bay Municipal Utility District. The company had built the Pardee Dam, six miles away.[5] Present dayIn the present day a truss bridge crosses the Mokelumne River at the town site, connecting the river banks in Amador County and Calaveras County, California.[6] See also
