Requa Del Norte County Street Scene Saloon Autos Real Photo Postcard

Requa, California, situated at the mouth of the Klamath River in Humboldt County, was historically a significant site for the Yurok people long before non-native settlement. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it evolved into a small community center primarily supported by the salmon fishing industry, including canneries, and limited logging operations in the surrounding redwood forests. The general merchandise store and saloon seen here were quintessential establishments for such remote frontier towns, serving as social hubs and supply points.
