Irishtown (also, Irish Town) is a former settlement in Amador County, California, United States. It was located 1.5miles south-southwest of Pine Grove, at an elevation of 1972 feet (601 m). The townsite lies within the boundaries of Pine Grove. Irishtown is a former Miwok settlement.
When the first white people arrived to the area, en route to finding mines, they saw a "city of wigwams."[1] [2] The Miwok also left signs of bedrock mortars in the stone. These bedrock mortars are remnants of food processing/grinding once used by the Miwok who lived in the area.[1] [2]
Irishtown is now a part of Pine Grove. Albert Leonard, Pine Grove's first postmaster, lived in the area in 1854, in an inn that he built. It served as a popular spot to visit for those traveling between Jackson and Clinton.[2]
