Arcata

Arcata today: with its natural beauty, resourceful citizens, and exemplary quality of life, Arcata is more than just a great place to live. Arcata is home; a sanctuary and a work in progress. Our priorities are natural. From our agricultural lands to the community parks and city forests, from our exemplary marsh system and wildlife sanctuary to protected creek and river corridors, wetlands and tidelands, we pride ourselves on our continuing efforts to preserve the unique, natural beauty within and around the City.

Our town is architecturally diverse. Arcata's urban and neighborhood character is enhanced by a diverse, architectural heritage. Our historic homes, classic commercial structures, craftsman cottages and contemporary buildings create a distinctive yet diverse character. New development complements the character of the neighborhood in which it is located. We're drawn to the plaza.

Our historic and distinctive downtown square remains the heart of Arcata. It is our common ground for community events, daily commerce, retail, restaurants and entertainment.

We share the benefits of Humboldt State University. The University, which offers continuing educational opportunities, cultural events and social activities for the entire region, is a stimulating presence and one of our community's most important assets.
