Digger Indian Agency (California)

History
A farmer-in-charge was assigned to the Digger Reservation near Jackson, California as early as 1899, but there are no known records for the agency prior to 1907. From 1915-1920, this farmer-in-charge also had responsibilities for the Indians of the Tuolumne Reservation. The agency was discontinued and transferred to Reno Agency, 30 July 1921.
