San Andreas is an unincorporated census-designated place and the county seat of Calaveras County, California.
Settled by Mexicans in 1848 and named after the Catholic parish St. Andrew, the town has been a noted mining camp since early days. The gold from the initially discovered placers gave out after a few years, but the discovery of gold in an underground river channel in 1853 revitalized the camp and it soon became a town. Mining of the channels was lucrative enough for the town to completely rebuild after fires in 1858 and 1863. The gold discovered here contributed greatly to the success of the Union during the Civil War. In 1866, San Andreas became the seat of Calaveras County. It was said to be a rendezvous location for Joaquin Murietta. Notorious stagecoach robber Black Bart was tried here and sent to prison.

San Andreas Lake (from Spanish: Laguna de San
Andreas) is the name of an upland lake on the San Francisco Peninsula south of
the city of San Francisco, California, and west of San Bruno and Millbrae. The
notorious San Andreas Fault received its name from this small lake, which in turn
takes its name from an archaic Spanish language variation of the name of Saint
Andrew, the Apostle.
Originally a small natural sag pond, the lake was expanded in the 1870s with the construction of the earthen San Andreas Dam to form a 550-acre (2.2 km2) reservoir for the City of San Francisco. The dam survived the 1906 earthquake despite the fact that the fault runs directly under the dam.
The Gaspar de Portolà expedition camped on the shores of the lake on November 4, 1769, just prior to their discovery of San Francisco Bay; the discovery site is on Sweeney Ridge immediately west of the lake.
In 1895, Professor Andrew Lawson of the University of California, Berkeley conferred the name of the lake on the earthquake fault he discovered in its vicinity.
