Nugget's post office was established January 7, 1881 and discontinued March 10, 1884. The mine responsible for this town was discovered by a man who didn't realize its value and traded it for a mule. Soon after that, a town sprang up and ore was being shipped to San Francisco. There was a saloon, general stores, and more. Today, nothing is left of Nugget.
