Scrub Creek
Scrub Creek was a farming community off Farm Road 358 ten miles northeast of Groveton in northeastern Trinity County. It was first settled around the time of the Civil War and was named for a nearby creek. A school was established there before 1877; in 1896 it had an enrollment of thirty-four. During the 1930s the small community had a school, a church, a store, and a number of houses. The school was later consolidated with that of Centerville, and in the early 1990s only a church and a few scattered houses remained in the area.
