Welcome to Mendocino, where Pacific breezes, miles of uncluttered beaches, and scenic redwood forests beckon you to experience an exceptional and sometimes magical vacation. The history of Mendocino begins in 1850 when a settlement was formed along the banks of the Big River. At the time the town was founded, it was a logging community. In 1858, the town opened its first post office to provide services for its small population. New Englanders made up the majority of the town's residents, followed by Portuguese fishermen and Chinese immigrants. More from this guide...
