Manzanita
Since 1850
First called Manzanita Grove. Dense brush provided a rustlers’ hideout and corral. Area burial site, 1855, with public support:
"Manzanita Grove Cemetery Association.”
Site of Manzanita School 1857 – 1899. Land for school and cemetery deeded in 1862 to Coon Creek School District by P. Dippel. Sparks family plot marks schoolhouse site.
Manzanita Cemetery joined Lincoln and Sheridan Cemeteries in 1925, forming the “Placer County Cemetery District #1.” Final rest stop for many Placer pioneers.
