History

Kernville, called Whiskey Flat until 1864, was founded in 1860 when whiskey dealer Adam Hamilton moved his shop there from the more temperate Quartzburg, which had been founded earlier that year. Both camps arose from the discovery of the Big Blue Ledge by “Lovely” Rogers while he was tracking a stray mule from the earlier camp of Keyesville.
