Modoc County is located in the far northeast corner of the state of California. It was established on February 17, 1874, and was named after the native Modoc people who historically inhabited the region. This county is bordered by Oregon to the north and Nevada to the east, and it covers an area of approximately 4,203 square miles.
The Modoc people had a rich cultural history and were known for their resistance during the Modoc War (1872-1873). This war was fought between the Modoc tribe and the United States Army and occurred shortly before the establishment of Modoc County. The war was triggered by disputes over land after the forced relocation of the Modoc people to the Klamath Reservation in Oregon. The Modoc leader, Kintpuash (Captain Jack), led his people in resistance, and eventually, the war concluded with the execution of Kintpuash and several other Modoc leaders.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Modoc County experienced growth due to the expansion of transportation routes, such as the opening of the N-C-O Railway in 1912. This led to the development of agriculture, particularly the cultivation of potatoes and alfalfa. Today, Modoc County's economy is largely based on agriculture, livestock, and forestry. The county also boasts numerous natural attractions, including the South Warner Wilderness, Modoc National Forest, and several wildlife refuges, making it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Fun Fact: The Lava Beds National Monument, located in Modoc County, contains one of the largest and most diverse collections of lava tube caves in the United States, with over 700 documented caves. The site was also the location of a significant battle in the Modoc War, known as the Battle of Captain Jack's Stronghold.
