Rough and Ready
Established in 1849, and named after the Rough and Ready Company of miners from Wisconsin,
in honor of General Zachary Taylor, this was one of the principle [sic] towns of
Nevada County. In 1850, articles of secession were drawn up establishing the "Republic
of Rough and Ready." As a result of disastrous fires, only a few structures remain today
of those built in the 1850s.
