City

Ukiah, California

Northern America

Ukiah is the county seat and largest city of Mendocino County, on the North Coast of California. It lies in the valley of the Russian River along the U.S. Route 101 corridor, about sixty miles north of Santa Rosa, and serves as the centre of Mendocino County and much of neighbouring Lake County. The name comes from the Pomo word Yokaya, meaning deep valley or south valley. The first Anglo-American family settled the valley in 1857, a post office opened in 1858, and the town was incorporated in 1876. Hops were a major local crop from 1868, and the railway reached the town in 1889.
