It is our pleasure to introduce you to our quaint, historic city, home to some of the nicest people and most beautiful scenery around.

While Yreka is full of typical small-town attributes—friendly locals, clean air, no traffic and affordable property values—it’s also Siskiyou County’s biggest town and the county seat. It therefore has more to offer than most small towns, especially in the areas of shopping, medical services and entertainment.

Yreka is pronounced Y-reeka from the Indian word for white mountain. Yreka has been listed as 48th in the top 100 small communities in the U.S. and is located 22 miles south of the California/Oregon border next to Interstate 5. Nestled in the northernmost corner of the majestic Shasta Valley, it offers panoramic views of Mount Shasta and three different mountain ranges; the Cascades, the Siskiyou's and the Marble Mountains.

Yreka is blessed with nature's bounty. We enjoy the diversity of four distinct seasons and offer abundant recreational opportunities. Close at hand are: golf, tennis, world class fishing, white water rafting, gliding, hiking/backpacking, skiing at two nearby ski parks, bicycling and snowmobiling. Yreka is home to several retail shopping areas, great restaurants, auto service shops and more than 14 hotels. Check our member directory for detailed information.

Yreka is also the most historic city in this region—a remarkably well-preserved gold-rush era town featuring a "step-back-in-time" downtown and over 70 pre-1900 houses. This original part of town has been listed on the National Registry of Historic Places since 1972.

If you wish to learn more about Yreka, please don’t hesitate to contact the Yreka Chamber Office, and we’ll do our utmost to answer any questions you may have.
