Eureka

Eureka lies along Humboldt Bay, where low coastal ground meets the forested, often fog-bound North Coast of California. The city stands within the ancestral homeland of the Wiyot people and was founded in 1850 during the Gold Rush, as the bay developed into a working port for the surrounding region. Old Town Eureka retains a notable concentration of Victorian-era commercial buildings, while the 1885 Carson Mansion is among its best-known examples of ornate Queen Anne architecture. The nearby Pacific coast and northern California’s redwood country give Eureka a maritime, timber-era character.
