Eureka, County seat in Northern California, United States.
Eureka stands on Humboldt Bay, surrounded by redwood forests, with Victorian buildings dotting the cityscape and a working waterfront along the Pacific coast.
The California gold rush prompted the establishment of Eureka in 1850, which developed into a major lumber port due to the vast redwood forests.
The Clarke Memorial Museum displays Native American artifacts, regional history exhibits, and documents the cultural heritage of the Humboldt Bay region.
Visitors can access Eureka through the regional airport, while the city center provides numerous accommodation options and local transportation services.
The Carson Mansion, constructed in 1884, represents the finest example of Victorian architecture in California, with intricate wooden details throughout its structure.
