List of quarries in the United States

A number of these are historic quarries listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), ranging from relatively ancient archeological sites to places having pre-World War II activity.

[1] The term "quarry" refers also to sites producing aggregate, molding sand, or other resources besides cut stone.

In 1906 the state mineralogist of California reported on 52 granite quarrying areas in 17 counties.

[2] Many quarries were opened temporarily to provide stone for one or a few local or regional construction projects, but could not compete later when railroads allowed for economical transportation of heavy building materials to the area.
