Forest Home is a former settlement in Amador County, California.[1] It was located 6.25 miles (10.1 km) west of Plymouth,[2] at an elevation of 581 feet (177 m).[1] It still appeared on USGS maps as of 1944.[1]

Forest Home began as a gold mining center, north of Ione.[3] Both placer and hydraulic mining was conducted.[3] After the gold petered out, copper mining began.[3]

A post office operated at Forest Home from 1862 to 1905, moving once in 1886.[2]
