About Yuba County
Yuba County is one of California's original 27 counties, formed on February 18, 1850. Named after the Yuba River (from the Maidu village "Yubu"), parts of the county were later given to Placer County in 1851, Nevada County in 1851, and Sierra County in 1852. Marysville was a major supply hub during the Gold Rush.
