Book Title: History And Business Directory Of Humboldt County

GARBERVILLE

Is a flourishing settlement in Southeastern Humboldt county, and is about eighty
miles from the ocean at the Eel river entrance. It is situated on a bench or
elevation at an altitude of about 900 feet above the sea level. There are many
fine sheep ranches in this section of the county and the soil is very
productive, vegetables, grain and fruits growing to perfection. Coal has been
discovered in this vicinity and a fine quarry of sandstone exists a little north
of the town. At Red Mountain near Garberville, a mineral paint has been found
which is almost inexhaustible in quantity and of a very fine quality. Oak, fir,
redwood, yew and madrone are the varieties of timber found in this section. The
town has a population of 250, and was first located by J. C. Garber. Garberville
has direct mail communication (semi-weekly) between Eureka via Scotia, arriving
Mondays and Fridays and leaving Tuesdays and Saturdays, making connection with
the Pacific Lumber Co.'s Railroad at Scotia.
