Mining began in Iowa Hill in the early 1850's founded by a group of Iowans. At one time it was known as Iowa City but a series of fires, wind storms and exhausted mines led to its demise so it never took the county seat. At one time 100 thousand dollars in gold revenue per week was extracted from the towns mines but three fires left the town in ashes. This was a major gold rush town back in its hey day it had four hotels, dance hall, general stores, fraternal lodges, post office, clothing shops, theater, tin store, dry good shop, two churches, four cemeteries, gambling hall, school, billiard hall, bowling alleys, saloons, couple hundred log cabins and over 100 structures alone facing Main Street. Today downtown is nearly a ghost town all that really stands is the vault, fire hall, cemeteries, general store and a few remnants of the past. At one time it was proposed to make Iowa Hill the state capitol of California. Today only about 200 folks live in Iowa Hill despite the series of deaths, tragedies, brutal weather and fires the town has managed to survive.
