About Angels
Angels Camp (formerly Angel's Camp, Angels, Angels City, Carson's Creek and Clearlake), is the only incorporated city in Calaveras County, California, United States. The population was 3,667 at the 2020 census. It lies at an elevation of 1381 feet (421 m).
Established in 1849, the town was a quartz mining destination in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Over $100 million was generated from mining activities. Black Bart, Joaquin Murieta, and other outlaws were said to have spent time in the town. Mark Twain based his short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" on a story he claimed to have heard at the Angels Hotel in 1865. The event is commemorated with a Jumping Frog Jubilee each May at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds, just east of the city. Because of this, Angels Camp is sometimes referred to as "Frogtown."
The city is California Historical Landmark #287.
