The Eureka Stockade in Victoria Australia in 1854. Wikipedia: The Eureka Stockade was a miners' revolt in 1854 in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, against the officials supervising the gold-mining region of Ballarat. It was prompted by grievances over heavily priced mining items, the expense of a Miner's Licence, and unfair treatment.[citation needed] While the events which sparked the rebellion were specific to the Ballarat goldfields, the underlying grievances had been the subject of public meetings, civil disobedience and deputations across the various Victorian goldfields for almost three years.[citation needed] The miners' demands included the right to vote and purchase land, and the reduction of Licence fees. Agitation for these demands commenced with the Forest Creek Monster Meeting of December 1851 and included the formation of the Anti-Gold Licence Association at Bendigo in 1853. Although swiftly and violently put down, the Eureka rebellion was a watershed event in Australian politics. The preceding three years of agitation for the miners' demands, combined with mass public support in Melbourne for the captured 'rebels' when they were placed on trial, resulted in the introduction of full white-male suffrage for elections for the lower house in the Victorian parliament.[1] The role of the Eureka Stockade in generating public support for these demands beyond the goldfields resulted in Eureka being controversially identified with the birth of democracy in Australia.[2][3][4] Of course, the word originally comes from Eureka (or 'Heureka'; Greek εὑρηκα/ηὑρηκα) which is a famous exclamation attributed to Archimedes,who (wikipedia again) "reportedly uttered the word when he suddenly understood that the volume of an irregular object could be calculated by finding the volume of water displaced when the object was submerged in water, subsequently leaping out of his bathtub and running through the streets of Syracuse naked." This was the ARchimedes Principle. Though the story may not be historically accurate (let's hope not for the sake of the citizens of syracuse) the principle is valid and was determined by Archimedes.

the first thing i think of is the town in cali, then i think about somebody discovering something brilliant. didn't one of our great scientists in the past yell "eureka" when he discovered something?
