Fruitland (formerly Elk Prairie) is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, California. It is located 6miles east-southeast of Weott, at an elevation of 1004feet.
A post office operated at Fruitland from 1890 to 1934. The first settlers of Fruitland were a colony of immigrants from the Netherlands who planted orchards sponsored by David Page Cutten, the namesake of Cutten, CA, approximately 370NaN0 northwest of Fruitland. The isolation of this colony in a time when there was little adequate long-distance transportation ultimately led to the dissolution of the colony's fruit market.[1]
