Old Yuba City e earliest downtown section of Yuba City was situated along Second Street and Bridge Street. Residences extended south along Second Street and east and west on B and C Streets. Yuba City was established before Marysville in July 1849. Samuel Brannan, Pierson Redding and Henry Cheever founded Yuba City on a tract of land they purchased from John Sutter. ey named their new town after the Yuba Indian village that stood near the site along the Feather River. e spring of 1850 saw a great many tents clustered on the riverbank, housing stores, gambling houses, saloons and residences. e little town flourished for a short itme, but it was soon surpassed by its rival, Marysville. Yuba City was on the wrong side of the Feather River to reach the gold mines, and crossing the river by ferry was an impediment to the argonauts. Consequently, Marysville grew rapidly, serving as a supply point for the mines at the head of river navigation, and Yuba City declined to ghost town status. Later in the decade, as miners settled down to farm in Sutter County, Yuba City grew slowly again. Yuba City became the seat of county government in 1856. It was not incorporated as a city until 1908. In 1907, much of the central business district was destroyed by fire and rebuilt. Eventually, a “new” business section developed on Plumas Street on land that had been ranches and orchards.

YUBA CITY’S HISTORIC HOMES
11 Butler House::241 C Street
The Butler House was built in 1873. It was owned later by Judge Coats and by Lewis Duncan, a former Yuba City Police Chief and City Clerk. This Victorian has a unique twin set of square bay windows projecting diagonally from the front corners of the house.
12 Schillig House::218 C Street
The Lawrence Schillig House was built in 1900 by the Yuba City lawyer and his wife Belle. This house was the site of the wedding of their daughter Dorothy and writer Max Brand, whose real name was Frederick Faust. Later it became the home of Dr. S.T. Chandler. Chandler and B.F. Walton were active in organizing the Sutter Canning & Packing Co.
13 Harkey House::212 C Street
The Harkey House was built in 1874. The house is of simple classical design, a Greek Revival with a front gabled roof, bracketed cornices, quoined corners, tall crowned windows and a balustrade porch. Harkey was an early sheriff of Sutter County, who wanted a residence close to the courthouse. It has operated as a bed and breakfast inn since 1983.
Kline House, 364 2nd Street
Craddock House, 370 2nd Street Yuba City
14 Sutter County Clerk and Recorder’s Office::433 2nd Street
This building was constructed in 1874 by the Methodist Church South. When the two Methodist congregations in Yuba City joined, the church became the First Methodist Church of Yuba City. The building was purchased by Sutter County in 1949 and has been used as a Veterans Center and a Senior Center. The Clerk and Recorder moved into the building in the early 1990s.
15 Von Geldern Engineering Company::430 2nd Street
Von Geldern’s is the second oldest existing business in Yuba City. Edward Von Geldern was one of the first registered civil engineers in Sutter County. He built this building in the early 1920’s to house the company that he started in 1913. In actuality, his offices only used a small part of the building. The rest of the building was used by the Chamber of Commerce, the District Attorney’s office, the School District offices, and, in the 1940’s, by the Draft Board.
16 McCampbell House::422 2nd Street
The McCampbell House was built about 1880 in the Italianate style. It was owned by Idalean McCampbell. The house may have been the first to be equipped with electricity in Yuba City.
17 Craddock House::370 2nd Street
The Craddock House was built by Judge J.H. Craddock on land purchased from J. M. Fronk in 1872. This Victorian house has strong Italianate influences as evidenced in the bracketed hipped roof, arched windows, and the balustrade portico supported by slim columns.
18 The Kline House::364 2nd Street
The Kline House was built circa 1922. Area dentist Dr. Albert E. Kline commissioned Julia Morgan to design this house. Morgan, a world famous architect, designed Hearst Castle and many historical properties in the Bay Area. Unique features include an interior floating spiral staircase, rounded French doors and an indoor garden room. Morgan’s emphasis on light is evidenced by the many windows and light filled rooms.
IOOF Building, 532 2nd Street
19 Dr. Barr House::36 2nd Street
The house was built in the 1920’s in the Prairie style with Craftsman influence. Dr. Barr was a well known local medical doctor.
Dahling House, 2600 Lincoln Road
20 Littlejohn House::1300 Franklin Avenue
Sitting on Hwy 99 is this lovely Queen Anne house built in 1899. James Littlejohn bought 160 acres from the James Gray ranch in 1879. The house was built to replace the original family home that burned. The ornamental detail, gabled roof line, and decorative shingles give it its charming character. It has been restored and houses offices.
21 Dahling House::2600 Lincoln Road
This exemplary double tier, double bay Victorian home was completed in 1886. Frederic Dahling, a Prussian immigrant who arrived penniless in Marysville, soon prospered by raising wheat in Sutter County. In 1878, he purchased 160 acres on Lincoln Rd and engaged the Marysville firm of Swain & Hudson to build a new house for the considerable amount of $10,000. It contained 12 rooms, over 4,000 square feet and included a tankhouse. It was so large that it was used as a landmark, along with the Sutter Buttes and Mt. Diablo, when the U.S. Geodesic teams first mapped the Sacramento Valley. It has been restored.
