The
Native Sons of the Golden West
is a
fraternal service organization
founded in 1875, dedicated to historic preservation, documentation of historic structures and places in the state, the placement of historic plaques and other charitable functions within California.
In 1890 they placed the first historical marker in the state to honor the discovery of gold which gave rise to the state nickname "Golden State" and "Golden West."
Organized locally into "Parlors," the group is perhaps best known for the large number of commemorative markers it has placed throughout the state.
The Native Sons of the Golden West was founded by
General
A. M. Winn
, a Virginian, as a lasting monument to the men and women of the
Gold Rush
Days.
General Winn lived in California during the Gold Rush and was impressed with the spirit and perseverance of the "
Forty-Niners
" . . . a
lasting style of monument to mark and perpetuate the discovery of gold.
Former U.S. President
Richard M. Nixon
and former Chief Justice of the United States
Earl Warren
were both past presidents of the NSGW.
