Mount Shasta, Mountain city in Siskiyou County, California.
Mount Shasta city stands at the southwestern base of its namesake volcano, surrounded by national forests and mountain landscapes at 3,600 feet elevation.
The settlement grew after 1887 when the Central Pacific Railroad established tracks through Strawberry Valley, marking the start of the local timber industry.
Native American tribes including the Shasta, Klamath, Pit, Modoc, and Wintu peoples maintained deep connections to this land through generations.
The city administration manages regular Planning Commission meetings at City Hall, addressing community development and environmental sustainability initiatives.
The municipality serves as a gateway for mountaineers preparing to climb the 14,179-foot volcano that towers above the urban center.
