About Ukiah

Ukiah is the county seat and main city center of Mendocino County, set in an inland valley north of the Bay Area. The region has been home to the Pomo for thousands of years, and later contact included visits by a Russian American company expedition connected to Fort Ross. Modern Ukiah is known for wine production, county services, and its role as a hub for inland Mendocino communities. It has a warmer, more agricultural feel than the county's coast, with vineyards, hills, and Highway 101 shaping the city.
