Crescent City ( Chetco-Tolowa : Taa-'at-dvn , [9] Yurok : Kohpey , [10] Wiyot : Daluwagh [11] ) es la sede del condado y la única ciudad incorporada en el condado de Del Norte, California . Llamada así por el tramo de playa de arena en forma de media luna al sur de la ciudad, Crescent City tenía una población total de 7,643 en el censo de 2010 , frente a 4,006 en el censo de 2000 . La población incluye a los reclusos de la prisión estatal de Pelican Bay , también dentro de los límites de la ciudad, y el antiguo lugar designado por el censo. Crescent City North anexa a la ciudad. La ciudad es también el sitio de la sede del Parque Nacional Redwood , así como del histórico Battery Point Light . Debido a la riqueza de las aguas locales del Océano Pacífico y la captura relacionada, y la facilidad de acceso, Crescent City Harbour sirve como puerto base para numerosos barcos de pesca comercial.

La ciudad se encuentra en la costa del Pacífico en la parte noroeste superior de California , a unas 20 millas (32 km) al sur de la frontera con Oregón . La geografía costa afuera de Crescent City la hace inusualmente susceptible a los tsunamis . [12] Gran parte de la ciudad fue destruida por cuatro olas de tsunami generadas por el terremoto del Viernes Santo en Anchorage, Alaska en 1964. Más recientemente, el puerto de la ciudad sufrió grandes daños y destrucción por los tsunamis generados por el terremoto del 11 de marzo de 2011 en Sendai. Japón . Varias docenas de embarcaciones y muchos de los muelles a los que estaban amarrados fueron destruidos cuando los ciclos de olas relacionados con los tsunamis excedieron los 8 pies (2,4 m).
El clima de Crescent City es moderado, con veranos frescos para su latitud como resultado de una intensa moderación marítima. Las áreas del interior cercanas detrás de las montañas tienen temperaturas de verano significativamente más cálidas.
Historia
El área que ahora se conoce como el condado de Del Norte [13] estaba y todavía está habitada por los pueblos indígenas Yurok (indios del río Klamath) y Tolowa . El primer americano europeo en explorar esta tierra fue el pionero Jedediah Smith a principios del siglo XIX. Fue el primer americano europeo en llegar a la zona por tierra a pie antes de que los americanos europeos supieran algo sobre un territorio tan lejano. Para él, era literalmente "Land's End", donde el continente americano terminaba en el Océano Pacífico. En 1855, el Congreso autorizó la construcción de un faro en "el punto de la batería" (una isla de marea alta en la costa de Crescent City) que todavía funciona como un hito histórico. [14]
Los exploradores europeos visitaron la zona por primera vez en barco a finales de la década de 1820. [15] Los europeos comenzaron a trasladarse a la zona en la década de 1850. Crescent City se incorporó como ciudad en 1854. [16]
Barcos históricos
- Crescent City era una goleta de 113 t (111 toneladas largas; 125 toneladas cortas) construida en 1848 por Joshua T. Foster de Medford, Massachusetts . [17]
- El hermano Jonathan , un vaporizador de paletas, se estrelló contra una roca inexplorada cerca de Point St. George, frente a la costa de Crescent City, California, el 30 de julio de 1865. [18]
- Un barco de 1906 llamado Crescent City fue el antiguo Jim Butler , una goleta de vapor de 701 t (690 toneladas largas; 773 toneladas cortas) construida por Lindstrom Shipbuilding Company en Aberdeen, Washington , [19] que naufragó en las Islas del Canal , frente a la Isla Santa Cruz , en 1927. [20]
- El SS Emidio , un petrolero de 6,912 t (6,803 toneladas largas; 7,619 toneladas cortas) de la General Petroleum Corporation (más tarde Mobil Oil), fue la primera víctima de la acción de la fuerza submarina de la Armada Imperial Japonesa en la costa del Pacífico de California el 20 de diciembre de 1941. El petrolero dañado se rompió en las rocas frente a Crescent City. Las piezas restantes del barco son ahora el Monumento Histórico de California # 497. [21]
Geografía
Según la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos , la ciudad tiene un área total de 6,25 km 2 (2,415 millas cuadradas ), de las cuales 5,08 km 2 ( 1,963 millas cuadradas ) (81,3%) son tierra y 1,17 km 2 ( 0,452 millas cuadradas ) ( 18,7%) es agua. La pesca y la pesca de cangrejos , el turismo y la madera son las principales fuentes de ingresos en el condado de Del Norte. [22] Elk Creek desemboca en el Océano Pacífico en Crescent City. Su lugar californiano más cercano de cualquier tamaño a su interior es Happy Camp, separado por aproximadamente 42 millas (68 km) por aire, pero, debido al terreno inadecuado, está mucho más lejos por carretera. La ciudad más cercana es la ciudad costera de Brookings , a unas 20 millas (32 km) al norte. El área de la bahía de Humboldt que abarca Eureka y Arcata está a más de 60 millas (97 km) al sur. Crescent City está tan al norte en latitud como Chicago , Middle Island en Ontario , Canadá , así como Nueva Inglaterra en el lado del Atlántico. Se encuentra a nueve grados de latitud al norte de San Diego en el extremo sur del estado. Crescent City está más cerca de Vancouver , Canadá (838 kilómetros (521 millas)) que de Los Ángeles (1.003 kilómetros (623 millas)). [23]

Tsunamis
The topography of the sea floor surrounding Crescent City has the effect of focusing tsunamis. According to researchers at Humboldt State University and the University of Southern California, the city experienced tsunami conditions 31 times between the years 1933 and 2008.[32] Although many of these incidents were barely perceptible, eleven events included wave measurements exceeding one meter, four events caused damage, and one event in particular is commonly cited as "the largest and most destructive recorded tsunami to strike the United States Pacific Coast."[33]
On March 27, 1964, the Good Friday earthquake off Anchorage, Alaska, set in motion local landslide tsunamis, as well as a trans-Pacific wave. The tsunami wave travel time to Crescent City was 4.1 hours after the earthquake, but it only produced localized flooding.[34] The second and third waves to hit Crescent City were smaller, but the fourth wave struck with a height of approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) after having drawn the harbor out nearly dry.[34] The next morning the damage was counted: 289 buildings and businesses had been destroyed; 1,000 cars and 25 large fishing vessels had been crushed; 12 people were confirmed dead, over 100 were injured, and more were missing; and 60 blocks had been inundated, with 30 city blocks destroyed. Although most of the missing were later accounted for, not all were tracked down. Insurance adjusters estimated that the city received more damage from the tsunami on a block-by-block basis than did Anchorage from the initial earthquake.[35]
The tsunami raced down the West Coast with more deaths and destruction, but no other location was hit as hard. Crescent City bore the brunt, due to its offshore geography, position relative to the earthquake's strike-line, underwater contours such as the Cobb Seamount, and the position of rivers near the city.[36] Although houses, buildings, and infrastructure were later rebuilt, years passed before the city recovered from the devastation to lives, property, and its economy. Since the 1980s, the breakwater has been protected from normal storm waves by hundreds of Dolos armor units, 38 ton concrete shapes.[37]
The city is deemed to be tsunami-ready today. Its preparedness was tested on June 14, 2005 when the 2005 Eureka earthquake measuring 7.2 on the moment magnitude scale hit 90 miles (145 km) offshore; much of the city (an estimated 6,000 people)[38] was evacuated when a tsunami warning was issued, and a 26 cm (10 in) tsunami wave hits the area.[39]
On November 15, 2006, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck off Simushir Island in the Kuril Islands in the western Pacific. A tsunami warning was issued but rescinded hours later. However, a surge from that quake did hit the harbor at Crescent City causing damage to three docks and several boats. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a county state of emergency. Upon that declaration, the area affected was eligible for federal emergency relief funding to repair the damage.[40][41]
Parts of the city were evacuated on March 11, 2011, after a 9.0 earthquake struck Japan.[42][43] Thirty-five boats were destroyed, and the harbor suffered major damage.[44][45] The reported peak surge was over 8 feet (2.4 m) by 9:50am.[46] Five were swept out to sea, and one person was killed.[44][47][48]

Educación
The public schools of Crescent City are part of the Del Norte County Unified School District, which encompasses all of the public schools in Del Norte County. The following are schools within Crescent City or its immediate vicinity.
- Del Norte High School is the only public high school in Crescent City, located on the northern edge of town. It replaced the earlier high school that was more centrally located, and which remains today as a public-access gymnasium and county offices.
- The Bess Maxwell Elementary School is the older of two elementary schools in the northern part of town that are located near the high school. Bess Maxwell serves grades 1–5. In its earlier years, it was a K–6 school.
- The Castle Rock Charter School is a K–12 charter school that provides personalized education to students, and is the liaison school for parents who home school their children. It operates the Tah-Ah-Dun American Indian Magnet School to provide for the unique requirements of American Indian students who might be at risk. (Tah-Ah-Dun is the Tolowa name for Crescent City, honoring the Tolowa village that stood on present-day Crescent City.) The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
- Crescent Elk Middle School is the oldest operating school site in town, centrally located in Crescent City. The site was originally a K–8 school, but slowly shed grade levels to other schools as it became a 4–6 school with a separate 7–8 program, then the 6–8 program that it is today.
- Mary Peacock Elementary School is the newer of two elementary schools that are located near the high school. The creation of Pelican Bay State Prison caused an increase in housing demand in the Crescent City area, and an increased school district population. This school was built to address that demand, but is not directly associated with the prison.
