CACHE CREEK SCHOOL
Cache Creek School district was formed from the Fairview District in 1880. The school was held at various places in the area where the large concrete bridge on current Highway 20 crosses the north fork of Cache Creek. The 1st school was in a vacant building on the east side of the creek. In bad weather classes were held at the Hanson place on the west side of the creek. The school moved twice in the next 15-18 years, and it burned down in 1916. Then classes were held in private homes. There was a period of a few years with no school until the last school was built about 1937, located south of Highway and 1/2 mile NW of bridge. The school continued for 5 years and then abandoned, with the building later being torn down.
(Student, Velma Hanson): "When we moved to Lake County 1n 1887, school was held in a vacant home on a point of land across the creek east of the present Cache Creek bridge. During the winter it was held in an upstairs room of Dan Hanson's home on the west side of the creek.)
(1893 - Teacher, Lennie Moore: "At that time the school was located about a mile north of the Dan Hanson ranch. I think it was moved twice after that, first down by the big bridge across Cache Creek, and later to a place near the Hanson Ranch. I had over thirty scholars, all ages and sizes, among them was Velma Hanson, who graduated from my school and then went to Lakeport to Prof. Overholser.")
