While the written history of Trinity County includes mostly mining and timber extraction events, Native American tribes thrived in this region for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans, with an abundance of natural resources and various climates, tribes easily lived with the land. Gold mining activities brought about many of the small (mostly abandoned) towns scattered throughout the rugged terrain. The timber industry established many of the communities still existing in Trinity County, although there is only one lumber mill still operating in the largest community of Weaverville, which has a population of about 3,600 people. Weaverville saw the first traffic light installed in the County in 2021, the end of the "county with no traffic lights" claim to fame, but even so, this demonstrates just how rural and sparsely populated the county is.
