The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Carrick is a census-designated place (CDP) in Siskiyou County, California, United States. Its population is 143 as of the 2020 census, up from 131 from the 2010 census. Carrick is located just outside the town of Weed, uses Weed in its mailing addresses and is generally viewed by locals as a neighborhood of Weed, though located outside of the city proper. On September 15, 2014, Carrick was under mandatory evacuation order due to a forest fire.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 131 to 143 (+9%).

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Carrick yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Carrick is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Carrick has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Shasta Inn and Weed Lumber Company Boarding House in Weed, 1.4 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
