Excerpt: The Pacific Lumber Company, officially abbreviated PALCO, was one of California's major logging and sawmill operations, located 28 miles (45 km) south of Eureka and 244 miles (393 km) north of San Francisco. The once storied company and its historically positive relationship with conservationists begun in the 1920s was altered drastically after a hostile takeover began in 1985. As a result, the company was transformed into a wholly owned subsidiary of Maxxam, Inc by 1986 and during its two final decades. The bulk of operations, including the historic company town of Scotia, California, remain adjacent to US 101 along the Eel River. Operations were split over several milling sites over the many years to mill logs from timber holdings exceeding well over 200,000 acres (890 km²) in the Redwood and Douglas-Fir forests of Humboldt County. For generations, it was one of the largest private employers in the entire region, appropriately known as the Redwood Empire. In January 2007 the company filed for bankruptcy protection. On July 29, 2008, the "Final Order" from US Bankruptcy attorney, Judge Richard Schmidt, led to the transfer of the assets of the bankrupt PALCO and all its subsidiaries to the Mendocino Redwood Company and Marathon Structured Finance. After 145 years as PALCO, the new company is known as the Humboldt Redwood Company. Some of the affected parties, including Bank of New York Trust Company, filed an appeal, and on September 29, 2009, the Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit modified this judgment. The Pacific Lumber Company was started in 1863. Though it employed over 350 people in its final days in 2008, there were over 1,600 employees at the turn of the millennium. The company itself is a tourist attraction that once welcomed visitors for a tour of the (now permanently closed) largest Redwood Mill ever constructed. The quaint town adjacent to the mill is still open to public visits. Pacific Lumber has been at the center of multiple controversies since a
