Many residents ended up living in Indian and Honey Lake valleys. In 18 there was some demoralization within the town with the Comstock mines in Virginia City, Nevada (see Comstock Lode). They also had a lodge for the Sons Of Temperance (see Temperance movement) which had over 200 members.
There were many stores, two-story buildings, saloons, gambling houses, shops, gilded palaces, lodging houses, and eating houses. The Main Street extended across the entire town. The first year over 30 county licenses were issued for business in the area. The Population of Elizabethtown got up around 20 people between 18. The rich mining claims of 18 were: The Wahoo, by Joseph Kelley & Co. In January 1855 the postal service was moved to Quincy. Blakesley was the Deputy and used his house as the office. Also in 1854 Elizabethtown got postal service with Lewis Stark as Postmaster. So the spring of 1853 the Stark family went to Sacramento Valley and hauled up many cattle for beef for the starving families. The winter of 18 were very harsh with low provisions. Later on Elizabethtown was also known as Betysburg after a rivalry started with Quincy. After that many miners came to search for gold which developed into a village. After digging a small ditch, they discovered one 28 ounce gold piece. After dinner they found several ounces using a rocker. After that, Lewis Stark, Peter Day, and George Ferrier one morning went up Elizabeth ravine and by noon they panned out an ounce of gold. In 1852 Alexander and Frank Tate discovered gold in what is known as Tate ravine. When they got there, they found a population of hundreds of Maidu Indians, who were peaceful and friendly. They brought a large supply of horses, oxen, cows, and other needed supplies and were the first settlers of American Valley. In 1852, a 10 to 15 family wagon train came up Beckwourth Pass (which was created by James Beckwourth, the first pioneer to this area). It was started from other gold mining camps all around American Valley (where Quincy, CA is now located). It is said that the value of gold taken from the Elizabethtown area ran into the millions of dollars. It was named after a woman in the miners camp called Elizabeth Stark Blakesley.
