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.
