Orick (formerly, Arekw, Orekw, and Oreq, Yurok: '' 'O'rekw '' ) is a census-designated place situated on the banks of the Redwood Creek in Humboldt County, California.〔 It is located north of Eureka, at an elevation of 26 feet (8 m).〔 The population was 357 at the 2010 census. The first post office at Orick opened in 1887.〔 The rare minerals Orickite and Coyoteite were discovered at Coyote Peak near Orick. ==History== Orick is one of the three Yurok Indian villages at the mouth of the Redwood Creek. It later became known as Orckw, then Orek, then Orick. Some say it means "mouth of the river." Others say it means "home of the driftwood." Orick is the halfway point between Trinidad and Requa and was settled by whites in the early 1870s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orick, California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
