Nestled in the foothills of the Sierras lies this historic town. This one-time county seat glories in its history of the past and is working hard to preserve it for the present and future. Located in rural Stanislaus County along the Tuolumne River, it has a population of around 300 and sits at an elevation of 249 feet. The name is French and means "the barn" or "the farm." French settlers, gold miners, originally established the community of French Bar about 1850. Gold was discovered there on a sand bar in the middle of the river. After flooding in 1851 and 1852, they moved upstream about one mile above the flood plain and established what is now La Grange. The new community was founded in 1852, and in 1856 the name was changed to La Grange and it became the county seat of Stanislaus County in 1856. This town prospered as both a mining and agriculture community. By 1853, French, Chinese, Mexican, Spanish and Americans were here to mine gold, farm and ranch. The estimate was about 3,000 to 4,000 mostly young men, lived in the area. It was the only area in the 11 western states to have used all 4 types of gold mining. (hydraulic, underground, placer and dredging). During its heyday La Grange boasted of around 10 boarding houses, three butcher shops, two restaurants, four blacksmith shops, numerous bars, livery stables, barber shops, billiard parlors, post office, churches and other businesses. From 1854 to 1858 La Grange enjoyed its greatest prosperity and was the biggest town in the county. There were three stage lines running daily with trips to Stockton, Mariposa, Sonora and other towns. La Grange lost the county seat to Knights Ferry in 1862, and as the gold mining started to decline, so did the population. La Gran
