Where History, Charm, and Community Come Together in Eureka
Founded in the mid-1800s as a stop on the Pacific Railroad, Eureka’s name comes from the Greek word meaning "I have found it!"—a nod to the discovery of a natural spring in the area. By the late 19th century, this hidden gem became a popular resort town, known for its fresh air and healing waters. In the 1950s, Eureka saw renewed growth as families were drawn to its small-town charm and scenic beauty. Today, the town is a perfect blend of historic landmarks like Route 66 and a thriving community spirit.
