First known as Boston Ravine, and then officially First known as Boston Ravine, and then officially named Centerville, Grass Valley was finally named as such — for unknown reasons — in 1852, the year after its post office was established. Empire Mine and North Star Mine, which are both located within the town, produced vast amounts of gold and made Grass Valley the wealthiest of all California mining settlements. Many tin miners from Cornwall, England came to the area during the Gold Rush and the town celebrates their heritage to this day, with annual Cornish Christmas and St Piran’s Day festivities. Strolling down the quaint streets of downtown, visitors will see bustling shops, restaurants and dozens of buildings that date back to the mid-19th century.
