The story so far

Carrick, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Carrick yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Carrick is a census-designated place (CDP) in Siskiyou County, California, United States. Its population is 143 as of the 2020 census, up from 131 from the 2010 census. Carrick is located just outside the town of Weed, uses Weed in its mailing addresses and is generally viewed by locals as a neighborhood of Weed, though located outside of the city proper. On September 15, 2014, Carrick was under mandatory evacuation order due to a forest fire.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 131 to 143 (+9%).
