Vernon, >From HISTORIC SPOTS IN CALIFORNIA - 4th Edition - 1990 (pages 242-243): NEVADA COUNTY "Another settlement, which also became a part of the modern Grass Valley, was established in what came to be known as BOSTON RAVINE, named after the company that arrived there in September 1849 under the leadership of the Rev. H. H. CUMMINGS, its president. Four cabins were erected on the south side of the ravine, where the party spent the winter. For two years BOSTON RAVINE, AT THE SOUTH END OF PRESENT MILL STREET, was the chief settlement in the vicinity, laying the foundation for the flourishing trade of the town that ultimately grew out from it."
