 History of Arcata, CA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The first known event associated with the county's history concerns Hee-li, a Chinese junk captain, who was reputed to have mistakenly piloted his vessel across the Pacific Ocean until it reached the coast of Redwood country in 217 B.C. A Dr. Shaw, in 1890, supposedly unearthed proof of this in the Hoang-ho province of Shen-see.
He described Humboldt Bay as of considerable size and somewhat resembling the Bay of San Francisco, except that the entrance to it for vessels of large class is not convenient, and with strong southwest winds is even impossible for any kind of vessel.
In 1854, elections were held for the Humboldt County seat but the election results proved so fraudulent (4828 votes were cast in Humboldt for Union, although only 800 voters were eligible) that the California State Legislature designated Eureka the county seat in 1856 instead of Union.

 SAN FRANCISCO / Bid to put limit on pepper spray / 8 Humboldt County activists ask judge to ban use at protests
The plaintiffs said several times that they would drop their suit in exchange for a ban on pepper spray in such situations, but the sheriff's office refused, saying the chemical was sometimes the safest and most effective method of ending an illegal trespass.
The eight-member jury in San Francisco found unanimously that Humboldt County deputies and Eureka police had used unreasonable force by applying pepper spray with Q-tips to the eyelids of demonstrators during three 1997 sit- ins.
The verdict doesn't necessarily let the county and city off the hook financially, however, because the plaintiffs plan to ask Illston for an award of attorneys' fees, estimated by attorney Dennis Cunningham at $2 million.
