Goodyears Bar was named for two brothers by the names of Miles and Andrew, who came looking for gold in 1849. In 1862, there were 3,000 to 5,000 people, and 51 businesses in town, with gold being the main economy. The town burned in 1864 and was never rebuilt, except for the post office which is still in operation. Historic buildings remaining include the Helms’ St. Charles Inn, a B&B, and the School House, now a community center that serves as a church on Sundays.
