Redding, California, originally known as Poverty Flats, is the largest city north of Sacramento, California and south of Eugene, Oregon. It had a population of 89,861 according to the 2010 United States Census, but has an estimated seasonal population of 92,000. Redding is the county seat of Shasta County, and also the largest by far. Surrounding communities include Shasta Lake City, Anderson, Palo Cedro and Shasta, all of which are small towns mainly known for its tourism export. Redding was founded in 1872 as a separate community from the neighboring boom town, Shasta, and was incorporated in 1887. It remains a hub for tourism, notably because it lies between many national parks, popular lakes and historical sites.
