By the early 1850's, newly arrived white settlers had moved into the Humboldt Bay area, causing conflict with the native inhabitants. Fort Humboldt was established in 1853 to protect both Indians and settlers and operated until 1866. It became a focal point in the violent struggle between two cultures, and many Native Americans were assembled there before removal to reservations.
