Trying to find out the history of Manton Ca.?

Question

My father was raised in Manton, I would like to know more about the city. I went online and it's basically no info. Anybody out there raised there or know anything about Manton ca. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Refer to Wikipedia on the net, there is a lot of useful information on this site regarding Menton, Ca.

Answer 2

Looking at the above reply... since the population in 2000 was less than 300 persons, I would not think the idea of "city" is going to work too well.

The above link is for Tehama county history (and that also is pretty thin, in my opinion).

You also can use mapquest, to look at the location.. and for you, use the satellite image.  I think this will help you have some perspective on the limitations of information.
