Lot of five Tuolumne County Water Company stock certificates, from Columbia, California, issued 1853-1862. One is canceled, all are signed by the company president and secretary. All have a 1-2" cross cut in center and one has a small corner torn off, but in fine condition. Detailed vignette of mining scene up the entire left side. Lith by Britton & Rev, San Francisco. After the first discovery of gold in Tuolumne County at Woods Creek near present day Jamestown in the summer of 1848, camps sprang up throughout the foothills. A steady supply of water was searched for in various areas near the major rivers, resulting in diverting and transporting water primarily for mining purposes. The first water company incorporated in 1852 was named Tuolumne County Water Company (TCWC). It started in Columbia and tapped water from the South Fork of the Stanislaus River.
