Lasco was the site of a prominent logging camp constructed in 1922.[3][4][5] It opened in 1923, and was a seasonal home for 250 loggers as well as their families.[3] The camp was reportedly so attractive that cars would pull in thinking it was a summer resort.[6]
Seasonal occupation ended after the 1930 logging season.[3][7] Evidence of the camp could still be found on the ground according to a 1983 U.S. Forest Service report.[8]
The former Lasco rail station now lies along the Bizz Johnson trail, which was created after the Fernley and Lassen Railway line was abandoned in 1978.[9]
