The following list of California quarries is not a complete list of all of the historical quarries in the state, only the ones I have been able to locate. Also, please see the two complete listings of granite and marble/limestone quarries in the entries entitled, Compiled Lists of Quarries. If you know of more historical quarries in California, please contact me. If you have photographs of quarries, I invite you to send them to us for inclusion on this page.
