Buckeye Flat is a former mining town in El Dorado County, California, located a mile east of Shingle Springs[1] at an elevation of about 1,400 ft (400 m).[2]

The town was named after its first settlers, who came from the state of Ohio,[3] known as the Buckeye State. At its peak, from 1852 to 1856,[1] Buckeye Flat had several stores and at least two hotels. It was home to the first school in the surrounding district.[3]
