Everything about Klamath County California totally explained
Klamath County was a county of
California from
1851 to
1874. During its existence, the
county seat moved twice and several counties were carved from its territory. It was formed from the northwestern portion of
Trinity County, and originally included all of the northwestern part of the state, from the
Mad River in the south to
Oregon in the north, from the
Pacific Ocean in the west to the middle of what is now
Siskiyou County in the east.
The original county seat was
Trinidad, on the county's southwestern coast. In
1854 the county seat was moved to
Crescent City, because of its larger population. But the western portion of the county was unrepresentative of the
mining interests in the eastern portion of the county, and so, in
1856, the county seat was moved inland, to
Orleans Bar, now Orleans.
In
1857,
Del Norte County, including
Crescent City, was split off from Klamath County.
The county's economy was never healthy. In 1874 it was finally abolished, divided into
Siskiyou and
Humboldt counties.
The official reason for dissolving of Klamath County was its electoral corruption. In one election there were many more votes tallied than voters. The area was contested with native American tribes. One town with a large population at the time, about 1000 people,
Lake City was completely destroyed during a raid, approx 1857, and is now known as
Burnt Ranch.
