MARYSVILLE DAILY APPEAL, California, April 30, 1873  In the days of the California Gold Rush, Marysville was a stopping point for riverboats from Sacramento and San Francisco that carried miners on their way to the digging grounds. A sign on the roadside as one enters Marysville carries the slogan: "Gateway to The Gold Fields."
At that time it was one of the largest cities in California, named after one of the survivors of the Donner Party tragedy.
