Located 30 miles south of Eureka on Highway 101 in Humboldt County, Scotia is a living piece of history. Its picturesque homes, manicured yards, and white picket fences evoke memories of an earlier time.

Scotia is the last true company town in America. Founded as a logging camp in 1883, it evolved into the Company headquarters; in fact, the Company’s 90-year old headquarters building is still in use.

Originally known as Forestville, Scotia is now home to about 250 PALCO families, some of whom have worked at PALCO for generations.
