Walk to Coloma's newest restaurant
Dickerville has opened just around the corner from The Lake House. Enjoy a nice stroll to lunch or dinner after a full day on the lake. The restaurant provides a full menu, bar and outdoor seating.
What is the history behind the name?
"There was also a store where travelers and local residents could obtain needed supplies. As actual paper money was scarce and unreliable, shoppers would trade or "dicker" with the storeowners for purchases. This manner of exchange resulted in Shingle Diggins now being referred to as "Dickerville".
The Dickerville name remained until the 1850's when the town was to be assigned a post office. The town's people wanted the post office but didn't want to be officially known as Dickerville. So, a new, more suitable name had to be selected. Miss Gilson, recalling stories of the 1849 Gold Rush, remembered her father comparing Dickerville to that of Coloma, California. The name was then changed from Dickerville to "Coloma". In Spanish, Coloma was also the name of a fragrant and beautiful flower, which grew on the Pacific slopes."
