Gold was first discovered along the south bank of the American River in the area originally known as Negro Bar. This site received its name because it was one of the earliest recorded locations mined by African-American gold miners during the California Gold Rush of 1849. At the time, Negro Bar was a large sand bar located on the south bank of the lower American River, in what is now the City of Folsom. Most African American miners left by 1852 to nearby mining sites that were more successful. Today, Black Miners Bar State Recreation Area is located on the opposite side of the American River.
