El Dorado County, California
El Dorado County is a county located in the Gold Country of the U.S. state of California, in
the Sierra Nevada. Its 2004 population was estimated to be 172,889, its 2000 population
was 156,299. The county seat is Placerville.

Much of the population of El Dorado County has become suburbanized, as the
metropolitan Sacramento area has expanded. In addition, the population of the Lake
Tahoe area has also boomed recently.

El Dorado County was one of the original counties of California, created in 1850 at the
time of statehood. Parts of the county's territory were given to Amador County in 1854
and to Alpine County in 1864. Prior to statehood, it had been referred to as Coloma
County.

The county derives its name from "El Dorado" -- the far-famed fabulous region of genial
clime and never-fading verdure, where gold and precious stones are as common as rocks
and pebbles, where wines gently flow from fountains. The name, meaning "the gilded
one" in Spanish, appears at the beginning of the 16th century as that of a mythical
Native American chief who was said to have been covered with gold dust during the
performance of religious rites.
