History

Parade, wild west shootouts and historic camps, carnival, vendors and rodeo or just part of the festivities put on every President's Day weekend and attended by thousands of visitors. An 1848 gold rush led to the formation of a town called Rogersville, which was later renamed Whiskey Flat after the introduction of bars[http://www.southern-sierra.com/Community/history.html]. The town has since continued to maintain its gold rush and old west roots to attract tourists and take advantage of nearby natural scenery and activities. The town's original location is slightly east of Wofford Heights. [http://www.kernvalley.com/news/whiskey.htm Whiskey Flat Days] is the annual celebration of the historic wild west days of the area.
