How Redding Came to Be– Like many cities that came to be, Redding is the result of a land grant. This land grant was given to a man named Pierson B. Reding in 1844. The grant given to Pierson B. Reding covered the land where Redding currently lies as well as the Land held by some towns that surround Redding, such as Anderson and Cottonwood. When Redding became a city, the population was mostly made up of Native Americans of the Wintu Tribe. With 600 settlers, Redding legally became a city under the State Constitution in 1887. By 1910, Redding’s population increased because the city was being supported by a mineral extraction industry of copper and iron. Redding’s population rose again to 4,188 by 1930 with the construction of the Shasta Dam.
How the Shasta Dam Project Helped the City Grow– Because Redding is located in a valley, the city gets heavy rainfalls in the winters. In the past, these rainfalls would cause tremendous flooding in the city, drowning livestock and crops. As Redding grew and more people settled in the city, flood control became a necessity for the town in order to protect and preserve agriculture and livestock for the people. The construction of the Shasta Dam helped prevent flooding and also created employment opportunities for the people. The Shasta Dam took six years to build. Shasta Dam also became and remains a historical attraction in the city, as it is taller than both the Washington Monument and the Niagara Falls.
Great Reasons to Live in Redding – Redding is an incredible place to live for people who love the outdoors. Mountains, gorgeous lakes, hiking trails, and waterfalls surround the city. The Sacramento River also runs through the city, providing even more gorgeous trails to take a walk or ride a bike. Redding is also an amazing place to live because it is multi-cultural. Hundreds of internationals flood into the city every year to attend The Bethel’s School of Supernatural Ministry. Many people from this school have started some of the local businesses and restaurants in the city such as Tantardini’s, a local European bakery started by a couple from Italy. Tantardini’s is just one place of many places in Redding where you can get authentic food from other countries. Redding is also an amazing city for those who want to receive an education or those who want to go into ministry. Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry trains and equips over 2,000 students from all over the world every year to minister God in the fields of society that they are passionate about. Redding is also home to Simpson University, a local college that provides a variety of degree options to those seeking a college degree.

Shasta Lake – Shasta Lake is the lake that sits above the Shasta Dam. The lake was formed in the early 1900s because of the construction of the Shasta Dam.

At these marinas, visitors can launch boats, eat a nice meal, camp, and even rent a houseboat. Bridge Bay Resort is a private resort just off the interstate that has houseboat rentals, a restaurant, and a boat launch. We highly recommend taking a walk out onto the dock at night and sitting under the stars. It is incredible! If you love to camp, Lake Shasta is also surrounded by campgrounds.
