Description
Originally known as simply Dana Road, this farm-to-market road connected the rural communities of Dana, McArthur, and Fall River Mills to Shasta County’s more traveled traffic arteries. The unincorporated town of Dana from which it drew its name was named for George Dana, who owned and ran a sawmill near Rainbow Springs in the late nineteenth century. Currently, Dana/McArthur Rd (also known as Route A19) connects Route 299 to Route 89.
