California: Rough and Ready
N 41° 50.244' W 89° 19.043'
Founded at the height of the California Gold Rush in 1849, this small town an hour northeast of Sacramento took its name from a Wisconsin mining company known as the Rough and Ready Company. The mining company was named after the 12th President of the United States, Zachary Taylor, whose nickname during his time as an army general was “Old Rough and Ready.” Taylor served as a commander during the Black Hawk War in 1832, during which Wisconsin politician A.A. Townsend served under him. When Townsend started his mining company, he honored his former general by giving it the same memorable name. Today, Rough and Ready is home to just under 1,000 people.
