Magalia (formerly Butte Mills and Dogtown) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Butte County, California, United States. The population was 11,310 at the 2010 census. ==History== Originally established after the 1849 California Gold Rush as a mining camp, the town was first called Mountain View.〔Gudde, Erwin G. 2004 California Place Names: The Origin and Etymology of Current Geographical Names. University of California Press〕 A dog breeding operation started in 1850 which led to the name Dogtown.〔 A post office opened in 1857, which was shared with the adjacent settlement of Mill City; the two eventually united.〔 In 1861 the name was changed to Magalia〔 after the Latin word for cottages. On April 12, 1859, at the Willard Claim, a hydraulic mine in the Feather River Canyon northeast of the town, a 54-pound (20 kg) gold nugget was discovered, the largest in the world at the time. Dubbed the "Dogtown nugget", it made the town famous.
