Grass Valley sits above 2,500 feet in the beautiful western Sierra Nevada foothills with a population of under 13,000. The town was the site of two of the biggest mines during the California Gold Rush: the Empire Mine and North Star Mine. Many of the miners immigrated from the equally rugged Cornwall region of England, and that legacy is still alive with the annual Cornish Christmas and St. Piran’s Day celebrations.
The Grass Valley City Council consists of five members who are elected at large by all residents. The mayor and vice mayor are appointed by a vote of the council each November. Meetings are open to the public and held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 7 p.m. (Photo: Dream123/Shutterstock)
