History
[edit]Amador County was created by the California Legislature on May 11, 1854, from parts ofCalaverasandEl Doradocounties.[7]It was organized on July 3, 1854.[7]In 1864, part of the county's territory was given toAlpine County.
The county is named forJosé María Amador,a soldier, rancher, and miner, born inSan Franciscoin 1794,[8]the son of SergeantPedro Amador(aSpanishsoldier who settled in California in 1771) and younger brother to Sinforosa Amador.
In 1848, Jose Maria Amador, with severalNative Americans,established a successfulgold miningcamp near the present town of Amador City. InSpanish,the wordamadormeans "one who loves". Some of the Mother Lode's most successful gold mines were located in Amador County, including the Kennedy, Argonaut, and Keystone.
There are numerous gold mines in Amador County including theArgonaut Mine,theKennedy Mine,the Central Eureka, and the Lincoln. The Kennedy Mine in Jackson was the deepest gold mine of its time. The federal government closed all of the Mother Lode's mines in 1942 because they were considered non-essential to the war effort.[citation needed]

Economy
[edit]TheShenandoah Valleywas once the principal viticultural region of California though not as well known as theNapa Valley AVAorSonoma Valley AVAviticultural regions.[28]With the discovery of gold, the area quickly became a mecca for those trying to make their fortune. In the process numerous wineries sprouted up, many of whose vineyards are still in use by wineries today. The decline of theCalifornia Gold Rushcoupled with the onset ofProhibitiondevastated the wine-making region of Amador County. Today this area has been resurrected and is now home to over 40 different wineries. Amador County is known for itsZinfandel,but many other varietals are produced as well. Amador County has a high percentage of old Zinfandel vines. Some of the Zinfandel vineyards in this county are more than 125 years old[when?],including the original Grandpère vineyard, planted with Zinfandel before 1869 and believed to be the oldest Zinfandel vineyard in America.[29]This 10-acre (40,000 m2) vineyard is home to some of the oldest Zinfandel vines on earth, with proof of their existence dating to 1869 when it was listed as a descriptor on a deed from theU.S. Geological Survey.A grant deed in Amador County records further proves their existence in 1869.[citation needed]
