Jackson is a historic city located in Amador County, California, in the heart of the state's Gold Country. Founded during the California Gold Rush in the late 1840s, the city was named after Colonel Alden Jackson, a prominent early settler.

The city retains much of its Gold Rush-era character, with well-preserved historic buildings and architecture from the 19th century lining its Main Street. Jackson served as an important mining hub during the Gold Rush period, and this heritage is reflected in its cultural institutions and historic sites. The city's location in the Sierra Nevada foothills provides a picturesque backdrop to its historical significance.

Today, Jackson continues to celebrate its rich history while serving as a cultural center in Amador County, offering visitors insights into California's pioneering past through its preserved architecture and historical landmarks.
