Can you name a former California ghost town, now a revived tourist town, named after another state?

Nestled in the foothills of California's Gold Country, this historic town shares its name with the neighboring state for a simple reason: both were named after the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The town was originally founded as just "Nevada" in 1849. However, when the Nevada Territory was organized a few years later, postal confusion ensued. In 1864, to distinguish itself from the new territory that would soon become a state, the California town officially added "City" to its name.

Like many settlements born from the Gold Rush, the town experienced a massive boom followed by a decline. As the easily accessible gold disappeared, the population dwindled, and it began to resemble the ghost towns scattered throughout the region. For a time, its future was uncertain as the mining-based economy collapsed, leaving behind a wealth of beautiful but empty buildings.

Instead of fading away completely, the town was preserved by its residents. Today, it is a vibrant tourist destination celebrated for having one of California's most complete and well-preserved historic districts. Visitors walk along streets lined with Victorian homes and authentic 19th-century storefronts, exploring a place that successfully transitioned from a bustling mining camp to a modern hub for arts, culture, and history.
