The history of El Dorado County dates back to the 1848 discovery of gold that led to the California Gold Rush. Taking up 1,786 square miles of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, most of the county is public land composed of rolling hills and mountains. According to a U.S. Census estimate, 192,843 people reside in El Dorado County, whose biggest hubs are Placerville, South Lake Tahoe, and the unincorporated but fast-growing El Dorado Hills. The region attracts visitors with wine trails, historic towns, and a flourishing arts culture, plus loads of outdoor activities including skiing, mountain biking, fishing, and whitewater rafting.
The Board holds regular meetings three times per month on Tuesdays. Meetings can be viewed on a live stream, and videos of past meetings are archived online.

The Lake Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce, Tahoe Prosperity Center, and other "outside agencies" in El Dorado County were surprised in February with the board of supervisors' decision to completely cut their transient occupancy tax funding and roll it into the general fund—a decision that may have lasting repercussions on tourism and business in the area.
