Шаблон:Infobox settlement Belfast is an unincorporated area of Lassen County, California.[1] It is located Шаблон:Convert northwest of Litchfield,[2] at an elevation of 4134 feet (1260 m).[1]
The town was founded by Capt. Charles A. Merrill in 1880.[2] The name reflects Capt. Merrill's hometown of Belfast, Maine, which itself was named after the city of the same name in Northern Ireland.[2] It was expected that a railroad would be built through the Belfast townsite,[3] but this never happened. Merrill did, however, successfully build an irrigation flume to aid in farming; in 1922, the Belfast area was subdivided into forty-acre plots in the hopes of reestablishing a farming community.[4] A few farms can be found in the area today.
The Willow Creek Canyon in the Belfast area is an important archaological site, with rock structures and petroglyphs suggesting it was a major hunting ground to native peoples. The Belfast Site rock features are believed to be around 3000 years old.[5]
