Amador City

Amador City was originally settled in 1849 at what is now Turner Road and Amador Creek (an old wagon road between Drytown and Sutter Creek) by several groups of gold panners who were drawn to the area looking for their lucky strike. Only two miles from Sutter Creek on Old Highway 49, Amador City is the state's smallest incorporated city by area. This small city packs a large punch with nostalgic historical buildings filled with amazing tasting rooms, restaurants, shops, taverns and more. It is a highly recommended stop while visiting Amador County.
