History & History Related Items
Redding history:
Two names stand out in Redding's history. The first is Pierson B. Reading. He was one of the pioneers of the lumber industry in Shasta County. He began lumbering in 1843. He and his partner received a Spanish land grant for 26,000 acres near the Sacramento River. He built a home and settled in, also planting the state's first cotton and Northern California's first grapevines. By 1862, he had mapped out a town near the mouth of Clear Creek and the Sacramento River. In 1872 the railroad arrived in Redding. With the RR came a man named Benjamin Redding, who was a land agent for the Central Pacific railroad. The railhead started to develop, and with this development the legislature named the town Reading after its founder. The railroad was not happy with this choice and would not recognize the name. They wanted the town named after their agent, Redding. Finally in 1880, everyone gave in and the town was given the railroad's choice of names. At that time, there were 9,492 residents in Redding. In 1884, it became the county seat. From 1880 until after World War II, Redding grew steadily but slowly. At this time, other industries were added to the already established lumber and wood products industries. Redding also became a gateway city to large recreational area that surrounded it. The Sacramento River flows through Redding, adding to the town's recreational value.
