The following has been extracted from McKenney's District Directory for
1879-1880. The original included Sacramento, Calaveras and Yolo
Counties. Only the towns of Amador County are presented in this series.

IONE CITY

Has a population of 800 persons, is beautifully and tastily built, and
is regularly laid out. It has an excellent school, a weekly newspaper,
and its churches are in a prosperous condition. The residents are
intelligent and energetic, displaying a commendable pride in their place
by constructing their business houses and residences with an eye to
convenience and architectural beauty. The yards are rich in the
possession of shrubs, plants and trees of rare species, and are
consequently an attractive feature of the place. It is the Northern
terminus of the Amador branch of the Central Pacific Railroad. It has
telegraphic communication and a daily mail. The mines in the vicinity
of the town are gold producing, though the chief suit engaged in is
farming, fruit and vegetables attaining a remarkable size and a
delicious flavor. It is 48 miles from Sacramento, via Galt. The
Veranda Hotel is the popular hostelry, where the tourist or commercial
traveler will find a cordial reception and meet with good treatment at
the hands of it general proprietress, Mrs. M. R. Kingsley, and its
clever young clerk Mr. Will Kingsley. The water is pure, clear, and
cold, and its sanitary condition is most excellent. The scenery in the
immediate vicinity is picturesque and grand.
