This small town, founded in the mid-19th century, played a critical role in the transportation of goods, services, and people, both during the peak of California’s gold rush and the expansion of the transcontinental railway system. Leveraging its strategic location, Colfax became a pivotal hub, bridging the industrial heart of the country with the gold-laden hills of the West.
