San Andreas (pop: 2600) was a California Gold Rush town founded in 1848 by Mexican miners. Today it is the county seat of Calaveras County, California.

The gold from the initial discoveries gave out after a few years, but the discovery of gold in an underground river channel in 1853 revitalized the town. Mining of the channels was lucrative enough for the town to completely rebuild after fires in 1858 and 1863.

Nearby activities include golf, skiing, whitewater rafting, boating, fishing, horseback riding and hiking. Take a short drive to the Moaning Caverns and Mercer Caverns, both offering guided tours and gold panning. Other nearby attractions include Angels Camp Museum, Columbia State Historic Park, Calaveras Big Trees State Park and the Bear Valley Ski Resort.
