Arcata

Carver blessedly had a second act, taking his last drink at the Jambalya bar in Arcata, California, on June 2, 1977.

It was incorporated in 1856, displacing Union (now Arcata) as the county-seat in the same year.

About six years afterward it was changed to Arcata, the original Indian name for the spot.

Uniontown (now Arcata) had enjoyed the early lead among the Humboldt Bay towns.

Somewhat later Arcata formed a debating society that was really a helpful influence.

Mail carriers were shot down, and the young men of Arcata were often called upon at night to nurse the wounded.
