Volcanoville is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California.[1] It is located 6 miles (9.7 km) north-northeast of Georgetown,[2] at an elevation of 2992 feet (912 m).[1]

A post office operated at Volcanoville from 1930 to 1953.[2] The name is due to early miners' mistaken belief that a nearby mountain was an extinct volcano.[2] Volcanoville has been noted for its unusual place name.[3]
