Book Title: History And Business Directory Of Humboldt County

BLOCKSBURG

Is an important trading and distributing point for a considerable area of
country. It is located on the main overland stage road, between Hydesville and
Ukiah, and is about seventy miles from Eel river bar. Over 800,000 pounds of
wool clipped in the southern portion of Trinity county, Southeastern Humboldt
and. the northeastern portion of Humboldt, passes through this town on the way
to market. This section of Humboldt county is well adapted to agriculture and
horticulture. The soil is very fertile and productive, and the land is well
watered by small streams and perennial springs. A large portion of the land now
devoted only to grazing, will undoubtedly be brought under cultivation in the
very near future, which will greatly add to the importance of Blocksburg. The
population is about two hundred.
