Honcut is a gold-dredging district in southwest Butte County along Honcut and Wilson Creeks northeast of the town of Honcut. It lies at an elevation of 108 feet (33 m). Honcut's population was 306 at the 2020 census. The name comes from Hoankut, an Indian village once situated on the Yuba River just below the mouth of Honcut Creek. | |
The creeks were first worked by hand methods in the early days. Bucket-line dredging began in 1909 and continued until around 1920. There was some dragline dredging in the district during the 1930s. |
