Toadtown (the United States)
Show map of the United StatesToadtown (formerly, Allentown) is an unincorporated community in Butte County, California. It lies at an elevation of 2782 feet (848 m).
A sawmill was established near Toadtown, on Little Butte Creek, in 1859. A major underground gold mine at the site began a few years later, and had a ball mill for crushing hard gold-bearing rock.[2] The El Monte mine made a strike of high-grade ore in September, 1930, which yielded several hundred dollars and some good specimens.[3] All traces of mining activity were gone by 1970.[2]
