Understand
Lake County was formed in 1861 from portions of Napa, Mendocino and Colusa counties. The county is named after Clear Lake, the largest natural lake wholly located within the state of California (Lake Tahoe is larger but is partially in Nevada, while the Salton Sea was formed after a breached irrigation canal flooded the desert for two years). The lake is believed to be the oldest lake in North America, with evidence indicating that a lake has existed at the site for 2.5 million years.
