Tehama County ( ) is a county located in the northern part of the U.S. state of California. As of the 2010 census, the population was 63,463.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/06103.html )〕 The county seat and largest city is Red Bluff.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 Tehama County comprises the Red Bluff, CA Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Redding-Red Bluff, CA Combined Statistical Area. The county is bisected by the Sacramento River. ==History== Tehama County was formed from parts of Butte, Colusa, and Shasta Counties in 1856. The county is named for the City of Tehama. The origin of the name is not known. Suggested possible roots are the Arabic word تهامة ''tehama'' ("hot low-lands"), the Spanish word ''tejamanil'' (shingle), or "high water" in the dialect of local Native Americans. The first permanent non-indiginous settlers in the area that is now Tehama County were Robert Hasty Thomes, Albert Gallatin Toomes, William George Chard, and Job Francis Dye. The four men were each given land grants by the government of Mexico in 1844. Thomes received Rancho Saucos, Toomes received Rancho Rio de los Molinos, Chard received Rancho Las Flores, and Dye received Rancho Primer Cañon o Rio de Los Berrendos. Later in the same year Josiah Belden received Rancho Barranca Colorado.〔E. J. Lewis ,1891,''Tehama County History:A Memorial and Biographical History of Northern California'', Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago〕 Famous early figures include Kit Carson, who took part in a fight that gave name to Bloody Island and Battle Creek, Jedediah Smith, John Fremont, and William B. Ide, the first and only president of the California Republic. The history of Tehama County includes the January 1886 relocation of Red Bluff's Chinese population, followed by the August 1886 torching of Red Bluff's Chinatown by alleged arsonists.〔 Via Google Books〕 The January 29th, 1886 edition of ''The Daily Alta'' detailed 'The Anti-Coolie Move' and confirms that a secret anti-Chinese meeting was convened in the town of Tehama, and an organization established to relocate the estimated 2,000 Chinese in and around Vina. Secret daily anti-Chinese caucuses in Red Bluff were also held.〔 Volume 40, Number 13304.
