Cemeteries in Butte County (County)
California, United States
Butte County, California, was established in 1850 as one of the state’s original counties. Its name, derived from the nearby Sutter Buttes, reflects the area’s distinctive geologic features.
Originally inhabited by the Maidu people, the region came under Mexican rule before becoming part of the United States. The Gold Rush of 1849 brought a wave of settlers—primarily from the eastern U.S. and Europe—who established towns like Oroville, which became the county seat. Mining, agriculture, and later hydroelectric development shaped the county’s economy. Ethnic communities including Chinese immigrants also played a significant role in its early growth.
Cemeteries such as Oroville Chinese Cemetery and Memorial Park Cemetery document the lives of those who helped shape Butte County’s frontier and agricultural heritage.
