This post office is located at 301 Main Street and serves a population of about 300.
The town was established in late 1849 following the discovery of gold here on Sept. 14, 1849 and was named for its founder Major William Downie. Downieville reached its peak population of over 5,000 people in 1851, but by 1865 had significantly declined. It has survived because it is the county seat of Sierra County.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
