California: Life for the quaint town of Murphys began modestly in 1848 when John Murphy and brother Daniel Murphy established a trading post and a small gold mining operation near the current town site at what became known as Murphys Diggins. Soon a large strike at Murphys Diggins would recreate the landscape and within a few short years Murphys CA would be a full fledged "Boom Town". Some of the finest wines produced today are from the wineries that call Murphys "home". Murphys Celebrates the annual "Jumping Frog" competition made famous by Mark Twain which takes place just 20 minutes west of Murphys at Angels Camp, California. Located in California between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park, it is a perfect overnight between these two great CA destinations. Plan an extra day to see the town of Murphys California before you continue your journey southward. |
