History

Del Norte County was formed in 1857, partitioned from the now-dissolved Klamath County, with Crescent City named as the county seat. [3]

The first purpose-built courthouse was constructed between 1879 and 1884 at a total cost of US$18,000(equivalent to $610,000 in 2023). [4] It was destroyed by fire in the early morning of January 18, 1948. [5] [6] The architect for the 1884 courthouse was S.P. Marsh. [7]

Court operations were temporarily moved to the Veterans Memorial Hall in Crescent City [8] until the current replacement courthouse was built in 1958 to a design by William Mabry Van Fleet. [7] [9] [10] [11] As designed, the 1958 courthouse has 20,760 square feet (1,929 m2) of floor space. [12]
