Unionville was the first Humboldt County seat and held about 1,500 people in the 1860s boom. Mark Twain prospected here around 1862 and wrote about it in Roughing It, though local accounts disagree about where he lived. Fewer than two dozen people live in the canyon now, among decaying buildings and a historical marker.
Reached by a gravel road; most buildings are private, and the nearby Old Pioneer Garden Country Inn takes guests.
