DescriptionPlumas County Courthouse, Quincy, California (1).jpg
English: Quincy is a census-designated place and the county seat of Plumas County, California. The population was 1,728 during the 2010 census, down from 1,879 during the 2000 United States Census.
Quincy started as a Gold Rush town, associated with the former Elizabethtown, California. Started in 1852, Elizabethtown slowly faded.
Development moved a mile away into the American Valley after settler James H. Bradley, who helped organize Plumas County, donated land there for the county seat. He laid out the town and named it after his farm in Illinois. (That had been named for John Quincy Adams (1767–1848), the sixth president of the United States (1825–1829).
The Quincy post office opened in 1855 and the town was formally recognized in 1858.
