History
[edit]
Humboldt County was formed in 1853 from parts of Trinity County. The city of Eureka is the county seat.
The first purpose-built county courthouse was completed in Eureka in 1889 at the corner of 3rd Street and G Street, and survived a fire in 1924.[4]
The design was credited to architect J.M. Curtis.[5] It was condemned and demolished in 1956.[4] The current courthouse was built in 1956 along with a new jail on the block encompassed by 4th, 5th, I and J Streets.[5] In 1994 and 1995, a new jail was built as an addition on courthouse covering J Street. In 1995, the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office moved into the remodeled old jail.
