Yreka, California, was named by a group of miners who came to the area during the Gold Rush in the 1850s. The name is derived from a Native American word, believed to mean "white mountain," referencing the nearby snow-capped peaks. The town was officially established in 1851 and quickly became a center for gold mining and commerce in the region.
