Amador County was formed in 1854 from the northern section of what was Calaveras County, named for José María Amador. [3]

The first courthouse was a two-story wooden building completed in January 1855 at 108 Court Street, serving until August 1862, when it was destroyed by fire. A new brick courthouse was completed at the same site in December 1863, designed by S.D. Mandell. [4] A neighboring building was completed as the Hall of Records in 1893 to a design by T.J. Welch, and the courthouse was expanded into the space between the two buildings around 1920. [4] The 1863, 1893, and 1920 interstitial buildings were merged and given an Art Deco renovation in 1939; [5] the combined courthouse building was re-dedicated on June 29, 1940. [6]

In 2007, a new County courthouse was completed at 500 Argonaut Lane, replacing the 1863/1940 courthouse. [6] [7] Court operations moved to the new location on June 25, 2007. [8]
