Шаблон:Coord Шаблон:Infobox settlement Garden Valley (formerly, Johntown) is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California.[1] It is located on Johntown Creek Шаблон:Convert north-northwest of Chili Bar,[2] at an elevation of 1949 feet (594 m).[1]

A post office operated at Garden Valley from 1852 to 1853, from 1854 to 1862, from 1872 to 1895, and from 1896 to present (having moved in 1940).[2] The place was originally called Johntown in honor of the sailor who discovered gold at the site.[2]

The first Garden Valley community hall was built in 1856 by the Sons of Temperance; it was replaced by a second hall in the 1870s and a third in 1933. James Marshall, whose 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill launched the California Gold Rush, was a regular visitor to Garden Valley.[3]

Garden Valley, like many communities in the foothills of El Dorado County, lies in a region with significant levels of asbestos in the soil. Roads in Garden Valley were paved in 1986 in an effort to control asbestos-laden dust; the state issued an air quality warning for the area in 1999, but county supervisors voted down a measure to protect the residents from asbestos dust.[4]

Education

The Black Oak Mine Unified School District serves Garden Valley.[5]
