Olivehurst, CA

Olivehurst is a census-designated place in Yuba County, near Marysville and the confluence of the Yuba and Feather rivers. It was largely settled during the Great Depression by families from the Midwest looking for available land and work, which gives the community a distinct migrant-era backstory. Today Olivehurst is served by the Marysville Joint Unified School District and functions as a residential community in the Yuba-Sutter area. It is practical, modest, and shaped by valley roads and river geography.
