Coyoteville is a former settlement located in Nevada County, California. It is situated at an elevation of 2,160 ft (660 m) above sea level.[1]

History[edit]

The town of Coyoteville started on the eastern section of Lost Hill, an area rich with gold in gravel hills.[2] During the California Gold Rush, a tunneling method called "coyoteing" was developed here, giving the town its name.[3]

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