Calpella

Calpella has served as a rail stop in Mendocino County since the late 19th century. This unincorporated community lies north of Ukiah in the Russian River valley, where vineyards and orchards share the lowland with rural homes and roads. Its name recalls Chief Calpella, a Wappo leader associated with this part of northern California, placing the settlement within the valley’s longer Indigenous history. The surrounding Ukiah Valley is part of Mendocino County’s established wine-growing country, while the Coast Range defines the wider setting.
