History


On the eastern section of Lost Hill, the town of Coyoteville started in an area of gravel hills that were rich with gold.[2] During the California Gold Rush, a tunneling method, nicknamed "coyoteing" was developed here, leading to the town's naming.[3]

In later years, Coyoteville became the northwestern portion of Nevada City, California.[3][4]
