County of Mendocino, California
Mendocino County was one of the original counties of California, created in 1850 at the time of statehood. Due to an initially low population, it did not have a separate government until 1859 and was under the administration of Sonoma County prior to that.
Mendocino County has a total area of 3,878.14 square miles of which 3,508.97 square miles or 90.48% is land and 369.17 square miles or 9.52% is water.
Mendocino County is located on the north coast of California, about 160 miles north of San Francisco. As of the 2010 census, the population was 87,841. The county seat is Ukiah located inland on Highway 101.
