Scotia

Scotia is best known in California for being a historic company town shaped by the Pacific Lumber Company. Set beside the Eel River in Humboldt County, it developed around a sawmill in the heart of the state’s redwood country. Pacific Lumber was founded in 1863, and Scotia’s planned streets, workers’ homes and civic buildings retain the character of an industrial settlement rather than a resort town. The Eel River valley connects the community with a wider North Coast region long associated with coast redwood forests and the timber industry. Scotia remains a small working community where that legacy is still tangible. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Scotia relates to the Eel River valley and Humboldt County.
