Del Norte County Superior Court
The Superior Court of California, County of Del Norte, also known as the Del Norte County Superior Court or Del Norte Superior Court, is the California superior court with jurisdiction over Del Norte County.

History

Del Norte County was formed in 1857, partitioned from the now-dissolved Klamath County, with Crescent City named as the county seat.

The first purpose-built courthouse was constructed between 1879 and 1884 at a total cost of US$18,000 (equivalent to $610,000 in 2023). It was destroyed by fire in the early morning of January 18, 1948. The architect for the 1884 courthouse was S.P. Marsh.

Court operations were temporarily moved to the Veterans Memorial Hall in Crescent City until the current replacement courthouse was built in 1958 to a design by William Mabry Van Fleet. As designed, the 1958 courthouse has 20,760 square feet (1,929 m) of floor space.
