Book Title: History And Business Directory Of Humboldt County

HYDESVILLE
    This prosperous little town is located on a bench overlooking the Van Duzen
fork of Eel river and is about half a mile from that stream. It is on a
beautiful site, some 290 feet above the level of Eel river, and is about sixteen
miles from the bar at the mouth of that waterway. It was named Hydesville in
honor of John Hyde, one of the first to settle in this locality. The section of
country surrounding this town is devoted to general agriculture and farming, and
on every side, as far as the eye can reach, are to be seen well tilled fields
and prosperous farms. The soil is very fertile and produces wonderful crops of
cereals, vegetables and fruit. The Eureka and Eel River Railroad has its present
terminus about a third of a mile from the town. From Hydesville the stages leave
daily for Ukiah. It is also an important wool shipping point. There are several
nourishing mercantile houses here, and the indications are that Hydesville will
be one of the most important towns in this part of the State.
