Lotus (formerly, Marshall and Uniontown) is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California.[1] It is located 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Coloma,[2] at an elevation of 722 feet (220 m).[1]

The settlement was established in 1849 and named for James W. Marshall, discoverer of gold.[2] In 1850, the name was changed to Uniontown to commemorate California's admission to the Union.[2] The name was changed to Lotus with the arrival of the post office in 1881.[2]
