What’s the capital of Klamath County, California from 1851 to 1854?
Klamath County , California Klamath County was a county of California from 1851 to 1874 . During its existence , the county seat moved twice and ultimately portions of the territory it once had were carved up and added to nearby counties . 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 . It is the only county in California to be disestablished . History . The original county seat was Trinidad , on the countys 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 countys economy was never healthy after the gold rush . The area was contested with Native American tribes . The Klamath and Salmon River Indian War and the 1858-1864 Bald Hills War involved white vigilantes hunting down and killing most adult males and killing , capturing , or enslaving women and children . Many of the captive natives subsequently died of starvation and exposure at Fort Humboldt . The white settlers economy suffered from the effects of the Indian wars , which disrupted the supplies to the settlements from the coastal towns . Worse still was the devastating effects of the Great Flood of 1862 which swept away the riverside settlements , mining works and ferries . In 1874 Klamath County was finally abolished , divided between 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 . Present day Del Norte County occupies part of Klamath County .
