Michigan Bar was a former mining camp near a sandbar in the Cosumnes River in Sacramento County, California which was founded by two gold miners from Michigan.

[1] The town site expanded out of the mining camp and by the 1850s contained a population of around 1500.

[2][3] Later hydraulic mining destroyed the original settlement, when the name came to designate a mining district.

[4] California Historical Landmark #468 marks part of the town as well as the mining district.
