Book Title: History And Business Directory Of Humboldt County

PETROLIA

Is a village located in the Mattole valley near its mouth. Petroleum has been
discovered near this place, from which it derived its name. The soil is very
rich and productive. Dairying, farming and stockraising are the chief industries
in this vicinity. At this point centers the large trade of the two valleys, and
as a consequence there are several business establishments here which are
prosperous. This section is attracting the attention of settlers as being a most
inviting portion of the county.
