Additional Details:
In 1848 this was the first stop in the Mother Lode Country. The miners came by to boat to Stockton, then overland by stage or on foot to Knights Ferry. The town was named for Captain Knight who came through with General Fremont. The captain liked the location so well that he stayed and established a trading post
