Description

East of Yreka just off of the road to Montague on right hand side. At least 68 Chinese were buried here at one time. Some of the Chinese may have been moved. It's not known how many are still here. ~~~~~~~~ The Yreka Chinese Cemetery was created by the Yreka city Board of Trustees in August 1877. The United States government issued a patent to the Central Pacific Railroad on April 12, 1898, for a parcel of land that contained the cemetery plot. There were fifty-two individuals interred in this cemetery.
