The area now known as Tahoe Donner has a rich history that dates back to the Washoe people, who were the original inhabitants. During the summer months, the Washoe tribes would explore the area to fish its waters, hunt local species, and gather natural resources. As the colder weather approached, they would move to milder climates below the mountains. The Washoe people had a deep connection with the land, using it sustainably for generations.
In the 1850s, the land became a commodity for European settlers following the gold and silver rushes. The Comstock era of logging saw the land, once abundant with large fir and pine trees, being converted into a wood supply for mining timbers, railroads, and building materials. By the 1920s, much of the landscape had been harvested, and the area was left with a significant fuel buildup due to the lack of fire awareness.
In the 1960s, Jack Kirby purchased 4,020 acres from a Christmas tree farmer in Truckee, California. By 1971, he had developed the Tahoe Donner Resort, opening it to the public. The resort was envisioned as a family-friendly destination, offering various recreational activities.
