On the Lassen and Nobles Trail in 1850 Doc Baker founded a resting stop for California Gold Rush travelers. George and Anna Maria (Kemmelmier) Dersch built a homestead here in 1861. The land around Anderson had always had conflict with the native tribes. On January 31, 1863, the natives attacked the homestead, no one was home. All the valuables were taken: cattle, horses, food, and clothing. In a raid in 1866 Anna Maria Dersch was killed in the raid.
