- Summary
- Murphys is a bustling little town in the foothills. Originally named for the trading camp of John and Daniel Murphy, the area became a boomtown during the Gold Rush, and later hosted such notables as Mark Twain, Black Bart, Ulysses S. Grant, and Horatio Alger. Nearby, the majestic stands of redwood at Calaveras Big Trees State Park stand sentinel over the gullies and ranches of this area, which has changed much since the 1800s, becoming a favorite spot for weekend jaunts and nowadays a home to a growing number attracted by the natural surroundings, laid-back lifestyle, and, increasingly, world-class wineries.
