Ukiah Municipal Airport Live Cam

Ukiah is a city located in Mendocino County, California, United States. It has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. The area where Ukiah now stands has been inhabited by Native American tribes for at least 10,000 years. The Pomo people, specifically the Yokayo band, were the primary indigenous inhabitants of the region.

The first European settlers arrived in the area in the early 19th century. In 1856, a settlement was established by a group of pioneers led by William S. Green and John Parker. They named the town Ukiah after the Pomo word "yokaya," which means "deep valley" or "south valley."

Ukiah grew steadily, and in 1876, it was officially incorporated as a city. The town's development was aided by the arrival of the railroad in 1889, which connected Ukiah to San Francisco and allowed for the transportation of goods and people.
