HISTORY OF THE COURT

Today, the Amador Superior Court serves the public in a modern one story
facility. In 2007, the court was relocated to the current location at 500 Argonaut Lane, Jackson, CA |
Things were quite a bit different in the 1800's
while Jackson was developing. |

With the Art Deco renovation in 1939, the County enveloped and unified all three
building sections. The Courthouse, the Hall of Records and the building fill-in area. The "new" Courthouse was dedicated on June 29, 1940. A new jail extension was added years later. |
