Graeagle, California : ウィキペディア英語版 | Graeagle, California
Graeagle is a census-designated place (CDP) located about from Reno, Nevada and from Truckee, California in Plumas County, California, United States. The population was 737 at the 2010 census, down from 831 at the 2000 census. ==History==
The town of Graeagle was founded in 1916, as a lumber town, and established a post office in 1919 with the moniker of Davies Mill. It was named Graeagle after a naming contest to select a better name than "Davies' Mill;" the winning entry contracted "Grey Eagle Creek" to Graeagle. This name may have some connection with Edward D Baker, the "Gray Eagle of Republicanism," who was in the mining region in 1856 while stumping the state for Frémont.〔 Graeagle Lumber Company's Box Factory was owned by the Fruit Growers' Supply Company (an affiliate of Sunkist) and employed hundreds to build boxes for shipping fruit and vegetables from the 1920s to the 1940s. Modernization closed the mill in 1956 and the town was acquired by the West family in 1959.
