Shively (formerly Shiveley, [1] Bluff Prairie, [2] and Paradise [2]) is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, California. [1] It is located 2.25 miles (3.6 km) north-northwest of Redcrest, [2] at an elevation of 144 feet (44 m), on the right bank of the Eel River. [1]
A post office operated at Shively from 1906 to 1965. [2]
Like neighboring Pepperwood, Shively was once a center for farm produce including corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes. [3] Also like Pepperwood, it was mostly destroyed in the Christmas flood of 1964. [4] A few farms and residences remain today.
