Website History

The Coloma.com website has been in continuous operation since August 1, 1995, making it one of the longest-running community websites in the world. In 2003, the South Fork of the American River section of the site was split off to form the basis of The American River web site.

Coloma.com was a finalist for The Dotties (Sacramento Web Awards) in both 1999 and 2006.

The sites were created as a labor of love by Donna McMaster (formerly doing business as Coloma Communications). Donna continues to develop and maintain the sites. Jonathan Kurten designed the latest incarnation of the site.

Thanks and acknowledgments to the WordPress community.
