 Brief History:
 
Siskiyou County became official on March 22, 1852. It was formed from parts of Shasta and (now defunct) Klamath County.
 The new county was named after the Siskiyou mountain range. Yreka is the largest city and County Seat.

 1874 proved to be an important year for Siskiyou County. In February, the County lost some area to the newly formed
 Modoc County. Then in May, Siskiyou County gained some land due to the dissolving of Klamath County. Those
 researching ancestors in this area around this time should make a note of these boundary changes and when they occurred.
