ABOUT ARCATA

The City of Arcata, incorporated in 1858, is nestled on the northern coast of California, amid redwood forests, Humboldt Bay, and the Pacific Ocean; approximately 760 miles north of Los Angeles and 275 miles north of San Francisco. The nearest seaport is Eureka, five miles south on Humboldt Bay. 

The History of Arcata is as rich and diverse as the land and the people who live here. Founded in 1850 as a supply port during the gold rush era, Arcata retains its Victorian architecture, historic central plaza, and small-town charm evocative of Arcata's First Century.
