About Montague

Montague is a quiet, small-town community nestled in northern California's scenic Shasta Valley, just a few minutes east of Yreka. Sitting in the rain shadow of the Klamath Mountains, the valley enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the year, with wide-open ranchlands and panoramic views of Mount Shasta. Originally established as a historic railroad hub, the town still keeps a compact, easy-to-navigate layout and a friendly, relaxed pace. Daily life centers around the local park, community pool, and neighborhood library, while all the major shopping, dining, and healthcare options in the county seat are only a short drive down the road. It is an appealing, down-to-earth spot for anyone looking for peaceful rural living with quick access to the outdoors.
