It was a large gold mining town way back when, at its peak it had a population of 6,000. When the gold ran out so did the people, there is nothing left there now except a California state historical marker. Scott said that when he was in Marysville, he read through some of the Timbuktu (Timbucktoo) Council minutes (which are stored in the Marysville lib.) That is where he found out that Adam Yeckley was a member of the local volunteer fire dept. 1864 and 1865.
