Tehama County, Administrative county in northern California, US
Tehama County spans 2,962 square miles of land between Sacramento and the Oregon border, featuring the Sacramento River through its central portion.
The county was established in 1856 from sections of Butte, Colusa, and Shasta Counties, with four initial settlers receiving land grants from Mexico in 1844.
The name Tehama stems from Wintun language roots, interpreted as either high water or salmon, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region.
Red Bluff serves as the county seat, providing government services and hosting regular Board of Supervisors meetings representing five distinct districts.
The county contains 300 miles of trails, including 17 miles of Pacific Crest Trail, and borders Lassen Volcanic National Park with its geothermal features.
