The first quarter of the twentieth century saw the growth of Siskiyou County communities. Logging grew as the economic mainstay of the area, with ranching and agriculture. The lands around Tule Lake were settled and the marshlands drained for agriculture. In 1906 the Butte Valley Congregation of the Church of the Brethren started the town of Macdoel, while Dorris, named for Presley Dorris of the D ranch, was incorporated in 1908.The city of Sisson's changed it's name to Mount Shasta in 1924. In 1919, Chico Normal School (now Chico State University) developed a summer campus on the land where the Mt. Shasta City park is now located.
