Colusa County is one of the original counties of California, created in 1850 at the time of statehood. Parts of the county's territory were given to Tehama County in 1856 and to Glenn County in 1891.
The county was named after the 1844 Rancho Colus Mexican land grant to John Bidwell. The name of the county in the original state legislative act of 1850 was spelled Colusi, and often in newspapers was spelled Coluse. The word is derived from the name of a Native American tribe living on the west side of the Sacramento River. The name was changed to Colusa shortly after . This however is disputed. The actual origin of the name is unknown.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,156 square miles (2,990 km2), of which 1,151 square miles (2,980 km2) is land and 5.6 square miles (15 km2) (0.5%) is water. A large number of streams drain the county, including Elk Creek and Salt Creek.
Thank you for taking me through those days where growing hurt so much. And all those fights, just taught me how to feel and how to fight back. You were always there for me, through thick and thin, through wrongs and rights, set an example even I wanted one or not. Close-knit, closer than most I think. Sometimes too close, but now I?m so far away and holding on to this thread, I?ve got this thread stitched into my heart, and I can always follow it back home. You made my life worth it, gave me what I need to feel all this love, all this life - and I know you know this, but I just happened to have a chance to scream it loud to everyone. Thank you, for every nigh, every ride, all that change I borrowed and never paid, every fight, all the things unsaid. You weren?t always perfect, but you never wanted me to be anything but me, and every time you played like kids, thanks for showing me that it?s great to live this life. Even when you?re all grown up, and every year brings another tear, that the laughter never has to fade. And you can?t always change what you hate, you can?t always throw your hate away, but ou can always find something you love
