Dixon, working a claim during the California Gold Rush.[3] The town was located {{convert|3.25|mi|km|1}} east-southeast of the present-day unincorporated town of Washington, California.[4] A sister town, Alpha, located at what is now the site of the historical Omega Hydraulic Diggings, was about {{convert|1|mi|km|abbr=on}} north of Omega. In the mid 1850s, following the introduction of hydraulic mining operations nearby, the town prospered. Omega had a post office (which operated from 1857 to 1891),[4] and needed to convert a residence into a jail in late 1858.[3] References1. ^{{gnis|1659304}} {{Nevada County, California}}{{NevadaCountyCA-geo-stub}}{{California-ghost-town-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cagenweb.com/nevada/nchistory.html|title=Nevada County GenWeb Nevada County History|publisher=cagenweb.com|accessdate=2009-05-31}} 3. ^1 Alpha-Omega Lookout and Monument; at malakoff.com; accessed May 2014 4. ^1 2 {{California's Geographic Names|533}} 3 : Former settlements in Nevada County, California|Former populated places in California|1857 establishments in California |
