PLACERVILLE, Calif. - The California Gold Rush town of Placerville will change its logo to remove a noose that stems from its mid-19th century reputation as Hangtown following lynchings of criminal suspects by mobs of miners.
The City Council voted Tuesday night to remove the noose after listening to emotional comments from residents, CBS 13 Sacramento reported.
Some argued that it is part of the history of the town, but others said it is violent and gives the city a bad reputation, the station reported.
