Alpine County, California
Alpine County is the smallest county, by population, in the U.S. state of California. As of
the 2000 census, it had a population of 1,208. There are no incorporated cities in the
county. The county seat is Markleeville.

Alpine County is located in the Sierra Nevada, between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite
National Park.

Alpine County was created in 1864 during a silver boom in the wake of the nearby
Comstock Lode discovery. The county was formed from parts of Amador, El Dorado,
Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. At its formation, the county had a population of about
11,000. By 1868 however, the local silver mines had proven unfruitful, and the population
fell to about 1,200.

After the silver rush, Alpine County's economy consisted almost entirely of farming,
ranching, and logging. By the 1920s, the population had fallen to just 200 people. With
the construction of the Bear Valley and Kirkwood ski resorts in the late 1960s, the
population increased to the present level.
