Points of interest in Shasta County include Shasta Lake, Lassen Peak, and the Sundial Bridge.

History

Shasta County was one of the original counties of California, created in 1850 at the time of statehood. The county was named after Mount Shasta; the name is derived from the English equivalent for the Shasta people. Their population declined in the 1850s due to disease, low birth rates, starvation, killings, and massacres as white settlers moved in.[6] The name of the tribe was spelled in various ways until the present version was used when the county was established. Originally Mt. Shasta was within the county, but it is now part of Siskiyou County, to the north. Its 14,179-foot (4,322 m) peak is visible throughout most of Shasta County. Parts of the county's territory were transferred to Siskiyou County in 1852, and to Tehama County in 1856.

Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 3,847 square miles (9,960 km2), of which 3,775 square miles (9,780 km2) is land and 72 square miles (190 km2) (1.9%) is water.[7] Mountains line the county on the east, north and west. The Sacramento River flows out of the mountains to the north, through the center of the county, and toward the Sacramento Valley to the south.

Flora and fauna

According to Willis Linn Jepson the biota of Shasta County were not explored in a scientific manner until just before the year 1900. Up until the 1920s the Southern Pacific Railroad Company owned vast tracts of natural grasslands; however, during the 1920s the railroad sold off much of its grassland holdings, leading to the rapid clearing of brush and large scale conversion from habitat to agricultural uses.[8] Shasta County has extensive forests, which cover over one half the land area with commercially productive forest systems.[9] Common forest alliances include mixed oak woodland and mixed conifer-oak woodland as well as douglas fir forest. Common trees found include White-bark pine,[10] California Black Oak and California Buckeye.[11]

the name is derived from the English equivalent for the Shasta people Their population declined in the 1850s due to disease low birth rates starvation killings and massacres as white settlers moved in 6 The name of the tribe was spelled in various ways until the present version was used when the county was established Originally Mt Shasta was within the county but it is now part of Siskiyou County to the north Its 14 179 foot 4 322 m peak is visible throughout most of Shasta County Parts of the county s territory were transferred to Siskiyou County in 1852 and to Tehama County in 1856 Geography EditAccording to the U S Census Bureau the county has a total area of 3 847 square miles 9 960 km2 of which 3 775 square miles 9 780 km2 is land and 72 square miles 190 km2 1 9 is water 7 Mountains line the county on the east north and west The Sacramento River flows out of the mountains to the north through the center of the county and toward the Sacramento Valley to the south Flora and fauna Edit According to Willis Linn Jepson the biota of Shasta County were not explored in a scientific manner until just before the year 1900 Up until the 1920s the Southern Pacific Railroad Company owned vast tracts of natural grasslands however during the 1920s the railroad sold off much of its grassland holdings leading to the rapid clearing of brush and large scale conversion from habitat to agricultural uses 8 Shasta County has extensive forests which cover over one half the land area with commercially productive forest systems 9 Common forest alliances include mixed oak woodland and mixed conifer oak woodland as well as douglas fir forest Common trees found include White bark pine 10 California Black Oak and California Buckeye 11 Adjacent counties Edit Siskiyou County north Modoc
