*Established in Klamath County, assigned to Siskiyou County when Klamath was dismembered in 1875.
†The establishment of Callahan's Ranch and Fort Goff appear also in the record for Sierra County, obviously by clerical error.
‡Happy Camp was established in Del Norte County, but with surrounding area was transferred to Siskiyou County by Legislative action in 1887.
§Big Flat was established in Trinity County, and moved to Siskiyou. The change was reported in the Postal Bulletin of 10 Sept 1937.

*Changed from Georgiana in Sacramento County to Rio Vista in Solano County, apparently on the date of the appointment of Charles A. Kirkpatrick as Postmaster. The Sacramento River being the county boundary, it would appear that the post office site was moved across the river at that time.
