| June 11, 2006: Fiddletown is a small town nestled in the Sierra foothills at about 1,600' elevation. As written on a copper, Historical Landmark plaque beneath the rooftop fiddle: "Settled in 1849 by a party from Missouri. According to tradition they were always fiddling, especially while waiting for the rainy season ~ hence the name..... It was changed by state legislature in 1878 to Oleta, an Indian name said to mean "Old Spring Home'"... Says 'Fiddletown' on the map... |
