Fiddletown, California 95629

Fiddletown, California is a registered California Historical Landmark (#35) community with a population of approximately 200 in the California foothills.

Fiddletown is roughly 50 miles directly east of Sacramento, at an elevation of 1687 feet.

Fiddletown served as a trading center for numerous gold camps during the California gold rush and had a very large Chinese population at that time. In its heyday, it was a social gathering place for weekend dances with people coming from as far as San Francisco.

The town was renamed Oleta in 1878 but the Fiddletown name was restored in 1932.

What about "Fiddle Frog"?

To the best of our knowledge, nobody has ever turned Fiddle Frog over and reported the results. So, the poll to the right should answer the question:

Financial advisors point out an annual savings of $220 per year, for a family of four, can be realized by using both sides of the toilet paper.

An additional savings of the same amount for laundry soap can be realized by turning underwear inside out and wearng an additional five days.
