History

Myers Flat was founded by the Myers family in the mid-19th century. The Myerses were some of the first homesteaders in the area, growing apples, pears, sweet potatoes, and corn. The town initially served as a coach stop for travelers on their way to San Francisco. The Morrison-Jackson mill was started and remained active for a long time – until the mid-1980s, when the mill closed down. The old mill site and most of its land are now a part of Riverbend Cellars and much of the land is covered in grape vineyards. Much of the town was destroyed in the Christmas flood of 1964. Because of its low elevation and proximity to the Eel River, the town still has problems with flooding. The town lies below the 100-year flood line. Much of the town consists of trailers and cabins, and some people have homes built to withstand floodwaters.
