Humboldt Bay

At Humboldt Bay, and in the vicinity, a series of Indian massacres by white men continued for over two years.

Halfway between them lies Humboldt Bay, a capacious harbor with a tidal area of twenty-eight miles.

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

Strange as it may seem, Humboldt Bay was not discovered at this time.
