Covered Wagon Days to celebrate the Golden Years

DEL NORTE — For the past 50 years, Del Norte has paid homage to its historical heritage during August with celebrations. The first-ever Covered Wagon Days event took place in 1972 when the town hosted a bicentennial festival that became the celebrations seen today.

Del Norte celebrating 150 years

DEL NORTE — This year marks the 150th anniversary of the town of Del Norte which was established in 1872. On Oct. 21, 1871, Del Norte was officially named by J. Cary French after gold was found in the Summitville area. French was one of five men who came to this location in the fall of 1871 for one purpose — to lay out a townsite and begin the adventure of creating a new and wonderful place to live.
