Lassen County, Administrative division in northeastern California, US
Lassen County encompasses 4,720 square miles of territory in California, with Susanville serving as the only incorporated city and county seat.
The county formation occurred on April 1, 1864, carved from sections of Plumas and Shasta counties following the territorial conflict known as Sagebrush War.
The county population reflects a mix of Native American heritage combined with descendants of English and Serbian immigrants who settled in the 1890s.
The Nevada-California-Oregon Railway connected the region to neighboring areas between 1880 and 1927, supporting timber export and mineral resource transportation.
Half of the adult population in Susanville, the county seat, worked in correctional facilities by 2007, marking a shift from traditional farming and lumber industries.
