Eureka is the county seat of Humboldt County, California, USA. The population was 26,128 at the 2000 census. Eureka was founded in 1856, and soon became an important port city for northern California’s logging and commercial fishing industries.
Located on Humboldt Bay, Eureka is part of the Redwood Empire.
Because of its proximity to Redwood National Park and Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Eureka is a popular tourist stop with many restaurants and motels. Of particular interest in Eureka are its harbor; historic Old Town, with its ornate, Victorian-style architecture; and the Humboldt Botanical Garden.
Eureka was voted as the #1 best small art town in John Villani’s book “The 100 Best Small Art Towns In America”.
