M. McGrew is credited as building the first residence in what is now Live Oak after purchasing his claim in 1868. The California and Oregon Railroad, later the Southern Pacific Railroad, first began operating trains to Live Oak in late December of 1869. In 1874, the first store opened, followed by the post office, a blacksmith shop, a saloon, and additional residential houses. The town had grown to include a warehouse, a hotel and boarding house, a butcher shop, two carpenters, a school, and about twenty-five houses by 1879, with a population of approximately 125 people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"poi\" class=\"wp-block-group poiSection is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<svg>\n\t  <use xlink:href=\"#divider\"><\/use>\n    <\/svg>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading sectionTitle\">Historic Points of Interest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<ul class=\"list-resources wp-block-list\">\n<li>At 3230 Clark Road, set well back from the road with a private driveway on the south side of Clark Road, is the <strong>Clark House<\/strong>, an old farmhouse. It is a rather large, square structure with symmetry and balance, illustrated by the large, elongated front door with equal windows on either side. A very unique feature is the elaborate wrought iron widow\u2019s walk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>A. M. McGrew House<\/strong> at 9778 Larkin Road was one of the first homes in Live Oak. McGrew, a farmer, reportedly built it for his bride, but he left town when the marriage did not work out. This old residence was moved a short distance from its original site to its present location between 99 and Larkin Road due to the construction of Highway 99. It houses the Buttes Insurance Company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sutter Hock Farm Historical Monument<\/strong> on Live Oak Highway (between Eager and Pease Roads) marks the first non-Native settlement in Sutter County. Established in 1841, the farm was partially destroyed by debris from flood waters caused by hydraulic mining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Along Live Oak Highway is the <strong>site of the Old Berg Ranch<\/strong> of 2,000 acres. The Berg brothers were Herman and Frederick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"resources\" class=\"wp-block-group resourcesSection is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<svg>\n\t  <use xlink:href=\"#divider\"><\/use>\n    <\/svg>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading sectionTitle\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>To learn more about the history of the town of Live Oak, check out these articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"list-resources wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/1970s\/1970jul\/?pdfpage=4\">Early History of Live Oak by Kathleen Briick<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/1990s\/1995apr\/?pdfpage=20\">The Live Oak Depot: A Silent Witness by Dorothy Ross<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/2000s\/2002oct\/?pdfpage=18\">History and Highlights of the Live Oak Women\u2019s Club 1912-2002 by Helen Heenan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/1990s\/1998jan\/?pdfpage=10\">The Beginning of Live Oak Union High School by Don Burtis<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/1990s\/1994jul\/?pdfpage=20\">William Rothney Channon &amp; Marian\u2019s Memories, interviews by Linda Leone<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suttercountymuseum.org\/resources\/bulletins\/2010s\/2016jan\/?pdfpage=17\">Grace DeForest Niemcziek\u2019s Memories of Growing Up in Live Oak, interview by Julie Stark<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
