During the gold rush, the area that is now composed of Redding was called Poverty Flats. In 1868 the first land agent for the Central Pacific Railroad, a former Sacramento politician named Benjamin Bernard Redding, bought property in Poverty Flats on behalf of the railroad so that it could build a northern terminus there. In the process of building the terminus, the railroad also built a town in the same area, which they named Redding in honor of Benjamin Redding. In 1874 there was a dispute over the name by local legislators and it was changed for a time to Reading, in order to honor Pierson B. Reading, who founded the community of Shasta, but the name was officially changed back to Redding by 1880. It has been called Redding ever since. History Indigenous culture Before European settlers came to the area, it was inhabited by a tribe of Native Americans called the Wintu. At their height, the Wintu had as many as 239 villages in the Shasta County area. First settlers Although Europeans had been to California as early as 1542, when Juan Cabrillo sailed to what is now the San Diego Bay, the indigenous Indians were probably the only inhabitants of far Northern California region until Russian fur trappers came through the area in 1815. The first European settlement in the area was established in 1844 by Pierson B. Reading, an early California pioneer who received a Rancho Buena Ventura Mexican land grant for 26,632 acres ( 10,778 ha ) that is now covered by Redding and Cottonwood, California. At the time, it was the northernmost nonnative settlement in California. Founding of Redding During the gold rush, the area that is now Redding was called Poverty Flats. In 1868 the first land agent for the Central Pacific Railroad, a former Sacramento politician named Benjamin Bernard Redding, bought property in Poverty Flats on behalf of the railroad for a northern terminus. In the process of building the terminus, the railroad also built the town of Redding which was officially incorporated on October 4, 1887. Early 20th century In the early twentieth century the town 's economic growth was spurred by the significant copper and iron mineral extraction industry nearby. However, the mining industry eventually declined, causing the economy and population to falter by 1920. It recovered in the thirties as the economy boomed due to the construction of Shasta Dam to the northwest. The building of the dam, which was completed in 1945, caused Redding 's population to nearly double, also spurring the growth and development of other towns in the area. Mid to late 20th century This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( September 2017 ) Redding continued to grow steadily in the nineteen fifties due to the region 's growing lumber industry and tourism brought about by the newly completed dam. The constructions of Whiskeytown and Keswick dams also helped boost the economy by bringing new workers to the area. Highway Interstate 5 was built during the sixties and seventies, which added to development and tourism in the region. Growth in Redding during the 60s and 70s was also caused by annexation of an area east of the Sacramento River made up of the unincorporated community of Enterprise. Enterprise residents voted to support the annexation primarily to acquire less expensive electricity via Redding 's municipal utility, which receives power from the dam. During the 1970s, the lumber industry suffered from decline. Lumber mills in the area closed down and heavily impacted the Redding area. Things later picked up, due to a retail and housing boom in the late 1980s that continued until the mid-1990s. 21st century In 2017, the city adopted a new flag after holding a redesign contest. In late July 2018, the Carr Fire in Shasta county seriously impacted the Redding area with the destruction of at least 1100 buildings, with several thousand more threatened, and 38,000 people instructed to evacuate. Geography and Climate Location Redding is located at 40 ° 34 ′ 36 '' N 122 ° 22 ′ 13 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 40.57667 ° N 122.37028 ° W ﻿ / 40.57667 ; - 122.37028 ( 40.576606, − 122.370325 ). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 61.2 square miles ( 159 square kilometers ). 59.6 square miles ( 154 km ) of it is land, and 1.5 square miles ( 3.9 km ) of it ( 2.50 % ) is beneath water. Redding is located at the very northwestern end of the Central Valley, which transitions into the Cascade foothills. The city is surrounded by mountains to the north, east, and west and fertile farm land to the south. Outermost parts of the city are part of the Cascade foothills, whereas southern and central areas are in the Sacramento Valley. The elevation in Redding is 495 feet ( 151 meters ) on average, whereas anywhere to the north, east, or west of downtown ranges between 550 feet ( 170 m ) and 800 feet ( 240 m ) feet. Southern portions range between 400 feet ( 120 m ) and 500 feet ( 150 m ). The Shasta Dam on the Sacramento River provides a considerable level of flood protection for Redding. The dam is capable of controlling flows up to 79,000 cubic feet ( 7,300 cubic meters ) per second. The flow rate exceeded this threshold in both 1970 and 1974. Soils in and around town are composed mostly of clay or gravelly loam texture, with red or brown mineral horizons. They are slightly or moderately acidic in their natural state.

( September 2017 ) There are several rare and endangered species in Redding and its immediate vicinity. The Redding Redevelopment Plan EIR notes the California State listed endangered species, slender Orcutt grass ( Orcuttia tenuis ), occurs in eastern Redding near the municipal airport, where vernal pools are known to exist. This endemic grass is a Federal Candidate for listing and is endangered throughout its range, confined to several populations, and seriously threatened by agriculture, overgrazing, and residential development. Vernal pools provide the preferred habitat for this plant, which the California Native Plant Society considers a rare and endangered species. These same vernal pools also support federally protected species such as the federally threatened vernal pool fairy shrimp ( Branchinecta lynchi ). Climate Redding has a hot - summer Mediterranean climate ( Köppen : Csa ), with very hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Winter ( October -- April ) provides the most precipitation of any season in Redding -- the weather tends to be either rainy or foggy and at times, snow occurs. Summers are hot and dry, but rain is possible, usually with a thunderstorm. The average daily maximum temperature in July stays near 100 degrees Fahrenheit ( 38 degrees Celsius ). The highest official recorded temperature in Redding was 118 ° F ( 48 ° C ) on July 20, 1988. That was recorded at the nearby Redding airport. Some people in town recorded as high as 122 ° F ( 50 ° C ) that same day. Redding has an average possible sunshine of 88 %, the second - highest percentage ( after Yuma, Arizona ) of any US city. The city receives an average of 4.8 inches ( 12 centimeters ) of snow annually. It rarely gets sleet or freezing rain. Frost occurs commonly in December through February, less often in March or November. In spring, rain is common. The city is located near the southernmost point of the influence of the westerlies, and it therefore gets much more rain than most places in the Sacramento Valley ; temperature differentials between land and sea cause moist air from the latter to flow over the city, producing precipitation, cloud and fog in the winter. The direction of this wind reverses in the summer, as hot, high - pressure air flows from land to sea, making the area very dry. Tornadoes are extremely rare ; flooding occurs only around the area near the Sacramento River. The coldest temperature recorded in Redding was 17 ° F ( − 8 ° C ). hide Climate data for Redding Municipal Airport ( 1981 -- 2010 ) Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Year Record high ° F ( ° C ) 80 ( 27 ) 83 ( 28 ) 88 ( 31 ) 96 ( 36 ) 106 ( 41 ) 117 ( 47 ) 118 ( 48 ) 115 ( 46 ) 116 ( 47 ) 105 ( 41 ) 88 ( 31 ) 78 ( 26 ) 118 ( 48 ) Average high ° F ( ° C ) 55.0 ( 12.8 ) 59.7 ( 15.4 ) 64.5 ( 18.1 ) 70.5 ( 21.4 ) 80.8 ( 27.1 ) 90.2 ( 32.3 ) 98.4 ( 36.9 ) 96.6 ( 35.9 ) 90.4 ( 32.4 ) 77.8 ( 25.4 ) 62.5 ( 16.9 ) 54.5 ( 12.5 ) 75.1 ( 23.9 ) Daily mean ° F ( ° C ) 45.7 ( 7.6 ) 49.5 ( 9.7 ) 53.7 ( 12.1 ) 58.3 ( 14.6 ) 67.3 ( 19.6 ) 75.9 ( 24.4 ) 82.2 ( 27.9 ) 79.8 ( 26.6 ) 74.1 ( 23.4 ) 63.6 ( 17.6 ) 51.7 ( 10.9 ) 45.4 ( 7.4 ) 62.3 ( 16.8 ) Average low ° F ( ° C ) 36.5 ( 2.5 ) 39.3 ( 4.1 ) 42.9 ( 6.1 ) 46.1 ( 7.8 ) 53.8 ( 12.1 ) 61.6 ( 16.4 ) 66.0 ( 18.9 ) 63.0 ( 17.2 ) 57.7 ( 14.3 ) 49.4 ( 9.7 ) 40.9 ( 4.9 ) 36.3 ( 2.4 ) 49.2 ( 9.6 ) Record low ° F ( ° C ) 16 ( − 9 ) 21 ( − 6 ) 28 ( − 2 ) 28 ( − 2 ) 34 ( 1 ) 42 ( 6 ) 53 ( 12 ) 50 ( 10 ) 40 ( 4 ) 33 ( 1 ) 22 ( − 6 ) 16 ( − 9 ) 16 ( − 9 ) Average precipitation inches ( mm ) 5.96 ( 151.4 ) 5.51 ( 140 ) 4.37 ( 111 ) 2.48 ( 63 ) 1.85 ( 47 ) 0.69 ( 17.5 ) 0.09 ( 2.3 ) 0.18 ( 4.6 ) 0.64 ( 16.3 ) 2.10 ( 53.3 ) 4.48 ( 113.8 ) 6.27 ( 159.3 ) 34.62 ( 879.5 ) Average snowfall inches ( cm ) 1.4 ( 3.6 ) 0.6 ( 1.5 ) 0.2 ( 0.5 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0.1 ( 0.3 ) 3.2 ( 8.1 ) 5.5 ( 14 ) Average precipitation days 13.1 8.7 12.3 7.9 7.2 4.0 0.6 0.9 2.1 4.1 6.8 10.2 77.9 Mean monthly sunshine hours 226 256 312 351 395 423 451 421 338 314 251 204 3,942 Source : Demographics Historical population Census Pop. % ± 1880 600 -- 1890 1,821 203.5 % 1900 2,946 61.8 % 1910 3,572 21.2 % 1920 2,962 − 17.1 % 1930 4,188 41.4 % 1940 8,109 93.6 % 1950 10,256 26.5 % 1960 12,773 24.5 % 1970 16,659 30.4 % 1980 42,103 152.7 % 66,462 57.9 % 2000 80,865 21.7 % 89,861 11.1 % Est. 2016 91,808 2.2 % U.S. Decennial Census The 2010 United States Census reported that Redding had a population of 89,861.
