During the years 1846-1850, this site was where two pioneer trails widely used by emigrants came together. The Applegate Trail, established in 1846, led from the Humbolt River in Nevada to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The Lassen Cut-Off, established by Peter Lassen in 1848, turned south at Goose Lake to the northern mines and settlements of California.
