Stirling City is located at {{coord|39|54|28|N|121|31|41|W|}}, around 45 miles (32 km) northeast of Chico, California.

HistoryIt was founded in 1903 by the Diamond Match Company[4] of Barberton, Ohio, as a center for processing cut lumber from the surrounding forests. Diamond Match official Fred Clough named the city, taking the name from the boiler used at Diamond's Baberton plant, made by the Stirling Boiler Company. The sawmill closed in the early 1970s. The land surrounding Stirling City is still harvested for timber, and the cleared area is farmed for cattle, fruit, and nuts. A post office opened in 1903.[4] DemographicsThe 2010 United States Census[5] reported that Stirling City had a population of 295. The population density was 250.4 people per square mile (96.7/km²).
