Mendocino County
Location and origin
This town, founded in the year 1884 and situated on the U.S. 1, is on the site of a fort built in 1857 to suppress the Indians. The fort was given up only ten years later and most of the land sold to woodcutters. The reason for the low population density of the coastal region is made clear when you realize that in spite of having only 5,500 inhabitants it is actually the largest town between San Francisco and Eureka. The timber industry continues to be of importance. One of the many saw-mills, Georgia Pacific Mill, is open to visitors on weekdays.
