- History
- On a beautiful late September day in 1937, and spurred on by growing popular public interests in horse racing; what was once 40 acres of stump-covered ground opened for the first time as the City of Eureka’s local agricultural exposition and racing plant of the Ninth Agricultural Association. The Humboldt Standard reported that the $50,000 venture was, “one of the most magnificent plants of its kind in the entire county.” For the official opening, a grand parade took place featuring show horses, race horses, and livestock in a procession leading to the race track and moving towards the tracks finish-line which stretched out in front of the grandstands. A large blue ribbon draped across the finish line and was cut signifying the official opening of Redwood Acres Fairgrounds as the four-day event began. Admission to the Fair that first year was 50 cents per person, and even city offices, schools, and businesses closed at noon so everyone could attend. Having yet to construct any buildings on the grounds, a huge tent was erected to shelter the 120 Humboldt firms and local vendor’s displaying exhibits of floriculture, horticulture, agriculture, as well as local products popular at that time.
