Tehama County�its name is a mystery but its sense of place is not. The county portrays a friendly Norman Rockwell�like America; with everything from May Day picnics and parades to fall harvests; rugged lumbermen; tough cowboys; and rodeo roundups. Carved out of three Northern California counties in 1856; Tehama County is largely rural; with fertile open spaces dominated by ranching and agriculture. To the east and west are lofty mountains and deep-set canyons sculpted by fast-moving streams to delight recreationists. These streams tumble into the mighty Sacramento River that courses through the middle of the county on its way to the Pacific Ocean. While rural; Tehama County has a rich and colorful heritage reflected in its people. Some of the more notable residents have included Ishi; a Yahi Indian considered the last of his people; William B. Ide; commander in chief of the brief Bear Flag Republic; and railroad magnate and governor of California; Leland Stanford; who built the largest vineyard and brandy distillery in the world here.
