It has an approximate population of 61,000, a total land area of 2,951 square miles, with about 22,000 households, and an average household income of $33,000. The county seat is Red Bluff and is about 200 miles from San Francisco. It is in this city that the first president of the California Republic, William B. Ide, lived.
