Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:For Шаблон:Coord Шаблон:Infobox settlement Frenchtown is an unincorporated community in Yuba County, California. It is located on Dry Creek Шаблон:Convert southeast of Rackerby,[1] at an elevation of 1447 feet (441 m).

The town was started by a French man named Vavasseur.[1] He built a hotel and store in 1854 at the site of Frenchtown, which soon numbered some 500 residents and had three hotels, three saloons, two blacksmith shops, a barber shop, and a bakery. However, the town was "virtually abandoned" by 1870, and by 1928 the only remains were an adobe wine cellar, a stone bridge, and an ore-processing apparatus.[2] In 1940, San Francisco attorney Thomas F. Califro bought the Frenchtown site and built a country estate there, using one of the stone rollers of the ore-processing arrastra in his front wall.[3] Today the Frenchtown area is a vacation destination, with wineries of the North Yuba AVA and country inns.
