Remington Hill is a historic mining camp in Nevada County, California which prospered in the second half of the 19th century.

[1] It was named for Caleb Remington, a prominent local miner who lived mostly in neighboring Little York, where he died in 1865.

[9] Its leading citizens included Caleb Remington, who owned a number of local mines and mills, was active in politics and ran unsuccessfully for county sheriff in 1854,[10] and John Timmons, one of the builders of the Remington Hill and South Yuba ditches, who became a millionaire, lost it all and died in the poorhouse.

The fire burned for about two weeks over an area six by seven miles, destroying much timber and a number of homes before it was brought under control.

[16] Hydraulic mining came to an end in the early 1880s as a result of legal rulings banning the discharge of "tailings" (gravel which had been stripped of its gold) into the Bear[17] and Yuba Rivers.
