History

Historical variants to the name suggest the community's history may have included mining. Variant names listed include Enskeeps Diggins and Inskip Town.

The town was named in 1857 for the discoverer of gold here, Mr. Enskeep.[2]

A post office operated at Inskip from 1862 to 1915, with a brief interruption in 1873.[2]

At the bottom of the ravine runs the West Branch of the Feather River. Inskip Pioneer Cemetery is located almost exactly 1-mile (1.6 km) due south of town on a hill overlooking the road. The cemetery is located at latitude/longitude 39°58′33″N 121°32′20″W.

gollark: > Doesn't CC store on/off flag directly in block state? It should survive crashes. Yep, it needs chunk with computer loaded into memory and after server restart this computer will be restarted, but it should work.On SC, sometimes computers are NOT correctly powered on after crashes.
gollark: Or use a wireless-capable OC system with wake-on-WLAN.
gollark: > It's fine if you enclose computer with passwords into cage of bedrock and use remote terminals + network to loginBut you need to open it sometimes to power on the computer in case of server crash.
