Blue Tent is a former settlement in Nevada County, California. It was situated 6 mi (9.7 km) southwest of the town of North Bloomfield, California on the north side of the Washington Ridge, by the South Yuba River. Its elevation was 3,133 ft (955 m) above sea level.[2][3]
History
First a California Gold Rush camp, and then a mining town,[4] it appeared on an 1873 map that identified other features within a couple of miles such as Sailor Flat Cañon, Mount Vernon House, and Gopher Hill. A post office opened in 1878 and closed in 1889.[5]
