Ragtown, California

John Sutter found gold in the Bagdad-Chase area in about 1898.

[2] A plaque in memory of this place is installed by E Clampus Vitus on May 3, 1981, about six miles south of Ludlow, California.

[3] The plaque reads: At this location, Ragtown stood as a part of the once-booming "Buckeye Mining District".

One mine in the district, the Bagdad-Chase, discovered by John Suter in the 1880s, was to become the largest single source of copper and gold in San Bernardino County.
