Like most communities in Calaveras County, Cave City began as a mining town. It was an important placer gold mining site in the 1850s, and at its peak had hundreds of residents, a hotel, a store, and one of the few schools in Calaveras County. The population quickly declined, and by the 1950s no structures remained. Today it is the location of the California Caverns, the most extensive system of caverns and passageways in the area.
