Yuba County sits where the Yuba and Feather rivers meet, and Marysville — the county seat — was one of California's busiest Gold Rush supply ports, with riverboats running daily from Sacramento in the 1850s. Hydraulic mining upstream reshaped the rivers and the town's levees, and the county later turned to orchards, rice, and ranching. Beale Air Force Base, established in the 1940s and home today to the U-2 and reconnaissance missions, anchors the county's modern economy alongside the fast-growing Plumas Lake area in the south county.
