Gold Hill (formerly, Granite Hill) is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California. It is located 2.5miles south of Coloma, at an elevation of 1621 feet (494 m).
Originally a mining district, Gold Hill became an important farming region once a canal was dug to the area from Hangtown Creek, near Placerville. Fruit from the Gold Hill area was distributed throughout the United States in the 1800s, and the district was also the site of a short-lived colony of Japanese settlers, who raised tea and mulberry plants for the production of silk.[1] [2] A few scattered farms remain today.
