HISTORICALLY Speaking
Eureka — A historic seaport city in the heart of the
Redwood Empire
E
ureka lies in the heart of the Redwood Empire, renowned for
the magnificent coastal redwoods, Sequoia sempervirens. These
ancient wonders, remaining from the days of the dinosaur, are the
tallest trees in the world and have played a vital role in fashioning
Eureka’s rich heritage.
The coastal location on
Humboldt Bay and an
abundance of lumber provided a ripe environment
for the birth of this 19thcentury seaport town.
More than 140 years ago,
miners, loggers and fishermen made their mark in
this unsettled wilderness.
Filled with hopes and
dreams for a new prosperLoggers, courtesy of Clarke Memorial Museum Collection
ity, Eureka was founded
in the spring of 1850. Gold had been discovered in the nearby
Trinity region, and miners needed a more convenient alternate
to the tedious overland route from Sacramento.
Stately Victorians rising along the waterfront reflected the great
prosperity experienced during this era. Many of these charming
Victorian homes remain today in their original elegance and splendor. The magnificent Carson Mansion, on 2nd and M streets, is
perhaps the most spectacular, built in 1885 by lumber magnate
William Carson as a project designed to keep millworkers busy
during a slow period in the industry.
Humboldt Bay was also host to a variety of other industries. Salmon
fisheries sprang up along the Eel River as early as 1851, and within
seven years 2,000 barrels of cured fish and 50,000 pounds of
smoked salmon were processed and shipped out of Humboldt Bay.
Today, the bay is still the center for commerce in Eureka and
home to more than 100 fishing vessels which land more rockfish,
Dungeness crab, salmon, shrimp and oysters than any other
region in California.
Eureka is one of California’s historic landmarks and offers a
unique and enchanting experience for the present day tourist. One
can still capture the feeling of that era strolling along Eureka’s
quaint Old Town waterfront past beautifully restored Victorian
homes and storefronts breathing in the fresh sea air, watching
boats returning with fresh catches of fish and crab.

Rise early & dine like the lumberjacks…
The Samoa Cookhouse. This is one of the last lumber camp eateries and it is worth a look. Watch in wonder as piles of eggs,
bacon, biscuits and gravy are placed in your view. After you have
successfully stuffed yourself, walk around the mini-museum of logging and cookhouse memorabilia.
See history in action…
Continue your historic trek to the Blue Ox Millworks Historical
Park and witness functioning millworks using Victorian era
tools to make “gingerbread ornamentations.”
Experience the Victorians…
Use your newly acquired knowledge to identify real victorians. The
Carson Mansion, The Pink Lady... See the Chamber of Commerce
(2112 Broadway) for a guide to many more historic beauties. For a
private guided tour of our lovely Victorians, call Pride Enterprise
Tours, 445-2117.
Park your car and take a walk…
Old Town Eureka and the Eureka Boardwalk make a perfect prelunch stroll. View the bay from the boardwalk and enjoy in the
many wonders to be found in Old Town. There are many shops,
restaurants, galleries and museums. Stop by a local eatery for a
light lunch and cool drink.
Get in touch with
nature…
Now that you are satiated,
a short drive will take you
to another world — the
world of Sequoia Park.
Stroll past the animals in
the zoo, or get up close
and personal with them at
the new petting zoo. Take
Sequoia Park Zoo, photo by Tracy McCormack
a trip through time in the
redwood forest and breathe in the aroma of the formal garden — all
right in the middle of town!
Take a break and get ready to paint the town…
Dress for dinner? — not in Eureka! The casual atmosphere carries
over even into our nicest eateries. So be comfortable and come enjoy
some of the finest California gourmet dining. We have the freshest
produce and seafood around so enjoy your favorites.
After a sumptuous meal, catch a show. The Northcoast Repertory
Theatre or the Humboldt Light Opera Company are always good bets
for live theater. There is also live music to be found almost every night
in Eureka, a stroll through Old Town can help you find it.
We hope you have enjoyed your day in Eureka — we enjoyed
having you! Please visit again soon!
