In 1906, Brashear Street became the first new street inside the original town plat. There would be only three other streets inside the original city limits to be created. The others were Hill, Maple and Quarry..

William Brashear came to the Honey Lake Valley in 1863 and moved to Susanville where he purchased all of Block 32 and segments of Blocks 24 and 31, near the Lassen County Courthouse. These had never subdivided into lots. Creating the street was one matter, and the subdivision a different story. I will be doing a follow up, when I able to due a file transfer, using a one of the local library’s computer.
