Sierra County is one of the least ethnically and racially diverse counties in California: About 93% of the 3,000 people who make up Sierra County are white. There also exists a Jim Crow Canyon, Jim Crow Creek and there was once a community known as Crow City. (Last year, 2,500 miles away in Georgia, Jim Crow Road — named for Glennon “Jim” Crow — was renamed G.C. Crow Road.) They don’t have our insider knowledge of the history of the name Jim Crow Road,” Mathieson said.
