The Jefferson Statehood Project

The counties of northern California and southern Oregon joining to form a new, more prosperous and self-directed state called Jefferson.

Can't Live by Scenery Alone

The most notable time in the history of Jefferson was in 1941, when Gilbert Gable, the first mayor of Port Orford, Oregon met with a group of civic leaders in northern California proposing to secede his county(Curry) from Oregon to join with the northern counties of California to form their own state.  

The original Jefferson Citizen's Committee chose Yreka as the interim state capital.

Stanton Delaplane of the San Francisco Chronicle won the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism for his series of articles on the Jefferson movement of 1941.

Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese on December 7th and the United States was in the midst of World War II bringing an end to the 1941 uprising.

The individuals involved pledged their allegiance to the United States and served our country to win the war.

The first map drawn in 1941...

Not just a state of mind,...

A Jefferson State of Mind...

Two X's painted on the bottom of a gold pan during the patriotic rebellion of 1941 served as the State Seal.

The two X's symbolize the people being double-crossed by Salem and Sacramento, the disrespectful capitals of Oregon and California.

The Jeferson Citizen's Committee held a patriotic rebellion to petition for good roads to be built to utilize valuable timber and mineral resources to aid the country in homeland defense.

Chrome, copper and manganese were mined in the region but the roads were insufficient and dangerous.

Top quality timber is abundant in the region but, today, over-regulation has brought the industry down to a small fraction of its sustainability.

Dead and dying timber is left to decay and hasten the risk and severity of wildfire, endangering neighboring timber stands, ecosystems and wildlife.

We now import most of our wood fiber need from Canada.

The majority of the generation of men who fought in World War II and came back to this region, derived their living, in one form or another, from the sale and utilization of timber, also known as the timber industry.

These courageous veterans raised families and made good livings from the land that still grows timber at a rate faster than is harvested or burned.

The result of political management of our forest lands has wreaked havoc on our rural communities. Logging, milling and transportation infrastructure has been dismantled and/or sold off.

Pie N Politics

Families and young people have a harder time finding work that pays wages comparable to industry jobs, resulting in more crime, substance abuse, spousal abuse and overall degradation of once lively and prosperous communities.
