History
The town of Coyoteville started on the eastern section of Lost Hill, an area rich with gold in gravel hills. During the California Gold Rush, a tunneling method called "coyoteing" was developed here, giving the town its name.
In later years, Coyoteville became the northwestern portion of Nevada City, California.
