    The town's name comes from Cape Mendocino, named by early Spanish navigators in honor of Antonio de Mendoza, Viceroy of New Spain. In turn, the etymology of Mendoza is "cold mountain." Despite its small size, the town's scenic location on a headland surrounded by the Pacific Ocean has made it extremely popular as an artist colony and with vacationers.

      The place on California's Pacific coast north of San Francisco is known as an artists' colony. Many houses are built in traditional wooden construction and are now often lovingly maintained and restored. Somewhat atypical for the USA are the many colorful cottage gardens that extend in front of and behind the houses.

      The coast west of the town is rough and rocky, with some sandy beaches a few miles north and south. The place is on the well-known and touristy California State Route 1.

      The 1,200 km² wildfire in California spread across the region in early August 2018 and was named the Mendocino Complex. Mendocino is struggling with water shortages.
