Fort Ann, California

Fort Ann is a former gold mining camp in Amador County, California. It was located on the South Fork of Dry Creek, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north of Volcano.^[1] Although local tradition has it that Fort Ann began as a military outpost, it began as a mining camp.^[1]

The camp was in place by 1852. Mining occurred in the original camp's vicinity, with some gaps in time, until at least 1941, with people living in the settlement.^[2]^[3]^[4] The camp appeared on the 1866 county map. Evidence of the camp and living quarters was reported to still be visible in 1967.^[5]
