I found Eureka listed in a 1889 atlas in
Montgomery county with a population
of 125. No exact location.

Apart from all the gold mines and Aristotle, I've heard of,
Eureka Stockade, history from our West Island, fondly known as Australia, comes to mind.
ol' goog found me a local who has witnessed the re-enactment of the clash.
here's the link,
