Location in Alpine County and the state of California Location in Alpine County and the state of California Location in the United States State California Kirkwood (formerly, Kirk, Kirkwood's, and Roundtop) is a census-designated place in Alpine and Amador counties, California, United States.

The populace was 158 at the 2010 census. Kirkwood's chief attraction is the Kirkwood Mountain Resort.

Zack Kirkwood, a cattle rancher who had settled in the area, opened an inn, titled Kirkwood's, in 1863 with the opening of the Amador/Nevada Wagon Toll Road, the major route through the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The following year, Alpine County was created and the redrawing of the county borders placed the inn at the convergence of Alpine, El Dorado, and Amador counties (the borders were later changed so the inn is no longer in El Dorado County, but the initial signpost marking the intersection of the three is still in the building).

After Zack's death, the inn stayed in the family and continued to operate until 1966, when it was sold to an investment group, who then converted it into the present-day Kirkwood Mountain Resort.
