There is a small town, east of Redding, with a big name…McArthur. So, just how did this town get its name? A Scotsman named John McArthur, Jr. came to California in 1868. He first lived in a community near McArthur, but claimed there was too much sin there for him. So, he literally built his own town…centered around agriculture…and named it McArthur. Today, some of the McArthur family still live and work in the town named after their ancestors. We met with Christine and George McArthur, who are fourth generation cattle ranchers, to find out how things have changed over the years. Perhaps the biggest change is the advancing technology. The McArthurs, along with many other members of the agriculture industry, have gone high tech with cell phones, computers and Internet access. They say it's crucial these days in order to stay competitive in the cattle ranching business. But, there is one charming aspect of their farming life that will never change. Every winter, they have to drive their herd of 3,000 cattle straight through town to be picked up and hauled off to lower ground. It is a sight to see for residents and visitors as the stampede makes its way through the small town. McArthur is located east of Redding on Highway 299 East.
