Second county votes to secede from California by Christopher Shay September 25, 2013 5:01PM ET A renewed effort in northern California to form the new state of Jefferson gains ground Along Interstate 5 near Yreka, a Northern California town of about 8,000 people, the roof of an old hay barn informs drivers in bold, black letters they have entered the "State of Jefferson." For over 70 years, a group of citizens in Northern California and Southern Oregon have pushed to unite their rural counties and secede from their respective states, creating a new state following the small-government ideals allegedly professed by Thomas Jefferson.
