  Klamath County, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was formed from the northwestern portion of Trinity County, and originally included all of the northwestern part of the state, from the Mad River in the south to Oregon in the north, from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the middle of what is now Siskiyou County in the east.
In 1854 the county seat was moved to Crescent City, because of its larger population.
But the western portion of the county was unrepresentative of the mining interests in the eastern portion of the county, and so, in 1856, the county seat was moved inland, to Orleans Bar.

According to Stern (1965), the Klamath lived in a relatively isolated position, with the Cascades on the west, hills on the south and east, and rather harsh territory on the north.
In 1864, the Klamath ceded most of their land to the U.S. Government and, with the Modoc and Paiute, were placed on the Klamath Reservation.
The cultural position of the Klamath was the subject of much debate among the authors of the 1930s, when tracing origins and the diffusion of cultural elements was a primary concern of anthropologists.

As, therefore, the proposed Klamath Reserve, being northwest from the Noome Lacke Reservation, would appear to be adapted to the convenient use of the Indians in that direction, the question is suggested whether the other reserve should not be located farther east and north, say on the tributaries of either Pitt or Feather Rivers.
I recommend your approval of the proposed Klamath Reservation, with the provision, however, that upon a survey of the tract a sufficient quantity be cut off from the upper end thereof to bring it within the limit of 25,000 acres authorized by law.
I hereby order that “Round Valley,” in Mendocino County, Cal., be set apart as an Indian reservation, in accordance with the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior, as the same is delineated on the map accompanying his letter of the 30th March, 1870.
