Book Title: History And Business Directory Of Humboldt County

FORTUNA

    About twelve miles from Eel river bar, and one-half mile from that stream is
Fortuna (Springville), which owes its existence mainly to the lumber interests
in the vicinity. In the immediate neighborhood are fine farming lands. It is one
of the youngest communities in the county, and is fast forging ahead. It is
situated on the line of the E. R. & E. R. R. Fortuna (Springville) had taken its
name from the numerous springs in the locality in which it is situated. The name
was afterwards changed to Slide and more recently to that of Fortuna. The
central location of the town and the surrounding resources will bring Fortuna to
the fore as a great manufacturing town. Fortuna is fully abreast of the times in
the journalistic line. The Eel River Valley Advance, published by Leon F.
Stinson, occupies a leading position among the papers issued north of San
Francisco.
