Coyoteville is a former settlement located in Nevada County, California. It is situated at an elevation of 2,160 ft (660 m) above sea level.
History
The town of Coyoteville started on the eastern section of Lost Hill, an area rich with gold in gravel hills. During the California Gold Rush, a tunneling method called "coyoteing" was developed here, giving the town its name.
In later years, Coyoteville became the northwestern portion of Nevada City, California.
