Town history
Eureka began as a safe haven for the world's greatest scientists and genius minds after World War II. The town isn't listed on any maps, and people passing through are never meant to know its secrets.
The community was created in the likeness of small town America. Residents enjoy the charmingly simple and serene landscape of Eureka, while having access to the most modern healthcare facilities, schools, etc.
Eureka includes a retirement home for the elderly.
Jack Carter discovers Eureka after being involved in a car accident while transporting a prisoner (his daughter). Because his car was damaged, they become stuck in the town just as a deadly mystery begins to unravel.

What the Scifi Channel says about Eureka
"...for all its familiar, small-town trappings, things in this secret hamlet are anything but ordinary. The stereotype of the absent-minded professor exists for a reason, and most of the quantum leaps in science and technology during the past 50 years were produced by Eureka's elite researchers. Unfortunately, scientific exploration is rarely what one expects, and years of experiments gone awry have yielded some peculiar by-products.
"From unrequited love to professional jealousy, from addiction to depression, the problems of Eureka's townsfolk stem from life's myriad of everyday challenges. But with the population's unique talents, troubled psyches and limitless resources, these small-town concerns have a way of becoming big-time problems. It is at that intersection, where human frailty and super-science collide, that Eureka begins..."
