Ohm (also known as Spaulding) was once a small community located in Nevada County, California. It was known for being the location of an important power plant built over a hundred years ago.

A Look Back at Ohm

Ohm was not a big city. It was a "former settlement." This means it was a place where people once lived and worked, but it is no longer an active town or village today. It was a temporary home for those involved in a special project.

The Power Plant of 1913

The main reason Ohm existed was because of a power plant constructed there in 1913. A power plant is a facility that generates electricity. This electricity is then sent to homes and businesses. The power plant at Ohm helped bring modern power to the area.

Life in Ohm

In 1913, a post office was set up in Ohm. This helped the people living there send and receive mail. Workers who were building the power plant lived nearby. They stayed in a place called Camp Spaulding. This camp was close to Ohm and provided housing for the people working on the big power project.
