  Greasertown (also, Petersburg) is a former settlement in Calaveras County, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of San Andreas, on the west side of the Calaveras River. It was a mining town during the California Gold Rush. It was destroyed when the first Hogan Dam on the Calaveras River was built in the late 1920s.
