Weed

Mount Shasta defines the setting of Weed — its volcanic cone dominates the southern Cascade horizon and gives this Siskiyou County town a distinctly high-country character. Weed developed around the lumber enterprise of Abner Weed, who established a sawmill here in 1901; timber and the railroad shaped its early growth. Today, the city lies beside Interstate 5 near the junction with US Route 97, linking Northern California with Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Forested slopes and Mount Shasta’s changing seasonal conditions remain central to the area’s identity.
