History

As a result, Dunsmuir retains today much of the charm and scale of the 1920s and 1930s, and has been designated on the National Register of Historic Places. The construction of the Pacific Coast Highway (US) Highway along the Siskiyou Trail in the mid-1910s brought more tourists. It is said to have been the last public lynching in California. In 1841, an overland party of the famous United States Exploring Expedition passed through the area. On the night of July 14, 1991, a derailment on a horseshoe curve (railway) curve of the nearby railroad (then owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad) resulted in the release of approximately 19,500 gallons of biocide into the Sacramento River just above Dunsmuir at .
