Shasta County (/ˈʃæstə/ ⓘ), officially the County of Shasta, is a county located in the northern portion of the U.S. state of California. Its population is 182,155 as of the 2020 census, up from 177,223 from the 2010 census. The county seat is Redding.[6] The county borders Modoc County, Lassen County, Siskiyou County, Plumas County, Tehama County and Trinity County.

Shasta County comprises the Redding, California metropolitan statistical area. The county occupies the northern reaches of the Sacramento Valley, with portions extending into the southern reaches of the Cascade Range. Points of interest in Shasta County include Shasta Lake, Lassen Peak, and the Sundial Bridge. Mount Shasta is in adjacent Siskiyou County to the north.

## History

[edit]

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;[note 1] 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.[7] The name of the tribe was spelled in various ways until the present version was used when the county was established. The 14,179-foot (4,322 m) peak of Mount Shasta in adjacent Siskiyou County to the north is visible throughout most of Shasta County. Originally within the county, it is now part of Siskiyou County, to the north. Parts of the county's territory were transferred to Siskiyou County in 1852, and to Tehama County in 1856.

In 1992, the Fountain Fire burned more than 63,000 acres (25,000 ha) and destroyed hundreds of homes and other structures, including large parts of Round Mountain and Montgomery Creek. More than 7,000 people were forced to evacuate.[8] Estimated losses totaled $105.6 million (equivalent to about $205.9 million in 2023).[9]

Shasta has served as the epicenter of the revived Jefferson State proposal since 2016 which wants to have Northern California and Southern Oregon form a new State.[10] The movement is associated with the Republican Party as its supporters argue that the Democratic controlled legislatures of both states have ignored the needs of the rural parts of their states.[11]

The Fountain Wind project, proposed by energy firm ConnectGEN LLC, includes up to 71 wind turbines, 679 feet (207 m) tall, with the capacity to generate 216 megawatts of electricity.[12][13] In 2021, the Shasta County Planning Commission voted unanimously to reject the project's use permit, followed by an appeal to the Shasta County Board of Supervisors that similarly resulted in a 4–1 vote to deny the appeal. Wildfire risks and firefighting challenges, among other issues, were given as a primary reason for the rejection of the project.[14] In early 2023, ConnectGen resubmitted its application to the California Energy Commission under Assembly Bill 205 which established a new certification program for non-fossil-fuel powered plants of 50 megawatts or more and related facilities.[15]

## Geography

[edit]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 3,847 square miles (9,960 km2), of which 72 square miles (190 km2) (1.9%) are covered by water.[16] 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 early California botanist and conservationist Willis Linn Jepson, the biota of Shasta County was not explored in a scientific manner until just before 1900. Until the 1920s, the Southern Pacific Railroad Company owned vast tracts of natural grasslands, but 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.[17] Shasta County has extensive forests, which cover over one half the land area with commercially productive forest systems.[18] 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,[19] California black oak, and California buckeye.[20]

## Government

[edit]

In the United States House of Representatives, Shasta County is in California's 1st congressional district, represented by Republican Doug LaMalfa.[46]

In the California State Legislature, Shasta County is in the 1st senatorial district, represented by Republican Megan Dahle,[47] and the 1st Assembly district, represented by Republican Heather Hadwick.[48]

Shasta at one time favored the Democratic Party in Presidential elections elections. The economy was shaped by the construction of Shasta Dam and some 60 percent of its registered voters were pro-labor Democrats.[49] It went Democratic in all but one presidential election from 1932 to 1976, and was one of the few counties in the state to be won by George McGovern. Since 1980, it has become one of the most Republican counties in the state in Presidential and congressional elections.[50] The last Democrat to carry the county in a presidential race was Jimmy Carter in 1976.

A 2022 successful recall unseated supervisor, Leonard Moty, Redding's ex-police chief who describes himself as a fiscal conservative and social moderate, after enough signatures were collected to have the election.[51] The county's Board of Supervisors shifted to a conservative supermajority in subsequent elections.[52] The board issued a declaration opposing state vaccine mandates and fired the health officer after the change in the makeup of the all Republican board.[49] The Board cancelled its contract with Dominion Voting Systems in 2023 to pursue other options including the possibility of counting votes by hand.[53][52] The county's contract with Dominion was not up for renewal until 2025.[54] County supervisor Kevin Crye met privately with Mike Lindell in Minnesota before the vote.[55] According to Lindell, they discussed how to run elections without voting machines.[56] State and federal law require that voters with disabilities have access to an electronic voting system.[57] The county selected Hart InterCivic as the new provider of voting equipment.[58]
