Black Bear was a gold mining town in Klamath County, now in unincorporated Siskiyou County, California.[1]

It is located on Black Bear Creek, a tributary of the South Fork Salmon River.[1]

History

[edit]

Gold was discovered in the area in 1860, and Black Bear became the trading center for a number of mines in the area. A post office was established 1869.[2] From 1874 it was within that part of Klamath County annexed to Siskiyou County. Its post office was closed and moved to Sawyers Bar in 1941.[3]
