Welcome
to the Foresthill Divide Chamber of Commerce Online!
“A
Proud Heritage & A Bright Future”
The community of Foresthill California was founded
in 1850 during the California Gold Rush when prospectors
swarmed over the Sierra Nevada mountain divide between
the North and Middle Forks of the American River.
After the gold played out many Foresthill settlers
turned to logging the tall trees that cover the Divide
and a dozen lumber mills were established in and around
Foresthill. The harvesting of timber, just like the
gold, eventually became too costly to pursue and the
mills were closed, causing many of the residents to
seek employment “off the hill” in nearby
Auburn and even Sacramento.
Foresthill, however, was not “down-and-out”.
With the wonderful outdoor recreational opportunities
of the Tahoe National Forest, beautiful lakes and snow
covered mountains, and the improvement of Foresthill
Road during the 1990’s by the Federal Government,
people seem to have rediscovered the Foresthill Divide.
Land values are on the rise, beautiful new homes are
springing up throughout the woods, and the new Foresthill
High School makes K thru 12 education a unique mountain-top
experience.
Although this website is still under construction,
we invite you to explore the completed pages and website
links to discover for yourself why the Chamber of Commerce
promotes the Foresthill Divide as a place with “A
Proud Heritage & A Bright Future”.
