History
A. F. Friday George erected a lumber mill here in 1892.[1] Difficulty hauling lumber over hills by oxen caused the business to fail.[1] The McCloud River Railroad Company was founded in 1895, enabling the transport of lumber from the region.[1] A lumber mill was built by the McCloud River Lumber Company, and electricity and steam heat for homes in McCloud was supplied by the mill.[1] The mill was sold in 1963 to U.S. Plywood, and in 1965, company homes in McCloud were transferred to private owners. The McCloud Community Services District was formed to oversee utilities, library services, and police and fire protection.[1] The lumber mill closed in 1979, re-opened in 1980, and closed in 2002.[1]
