History of El Dorado County 1883 by Paolo Sioli
excerpt "Originally called Centreville, but now ... known as Pilot Hill, has retained more of the character of a mining camp of old, than most places in the country. The town is located at the north-eastern base of Pilot Hill, from which it derives its name. The first mining was done in 1849, and the first little store was opened here the same year in a common log building... 

Pilot Hill has a Masonic Hall, the property of Pilot Hill Lodge, No. 160, F. and A. M.

The first Grange Lodge on the Pacific coast was organized here in 1870, by A. A. Bayley; by reading a brief article on the objects and aims of the Patrons of Husbandry, he became so favorably impressed that he wrote for further information to the National Secretary; O. H. Kelly, Esq., at Itasca, Minn., from whom he received, with the sanction of the National Executive Committee, and in absence of a General Deputy, a special commission on the entire secret work. The Lodge was then organized on August 17th, 1870, with twenty-nine charter members, forming the Pioneer Grange of California."
