*Established
in Klamath County; taken into Humboldt when Klamath area was apportioned
between Humboldt and Siskiyou in 1875.
†Recorded
as established in Trinity County, taken into Humboldt when created 12 March
1853. Thus Eureka was actually in Humboldt County when established, unless it
operated under local authority three months before Washington approval. The
record on Union Town is correct.
‡Recorded
as established in Trinity County, although the site was taken into Klamath 25
April 1851. However, Trinidad may well have operated under the authority of the
Special Agent of the Post Office Department while still in Trinity. See Part
II, List 7. It remained in Klamath as County Seat until 1875, when the site was
assigned to Humboldt County.
