The first phase of The Gasquet Mobile Home Park was opened in 1984 by the Wetherell family. The Wetherell family has owned the land on which the park is located for over 100 years.

Gasquet was a thriving resort town in the 19th century. Eighteen miles from the coast, it has sunnier, warmer days than the coastal communities, and people from central California head here to relax in the fine weather and to fish. There are remnants of old mining operations in the area. Del Norte County has a history of futile mining attempts, among them searches for gold, copper and silver.
