Fort Bragg

Fort Bragg straddles the meeting of the Pacific coast and Mendocino County’s redwood interior in Northern California, a position that tied its development to maritime trade and the timber industry. The Noyo River reaches the Pacific just south of town, where Noyo Harbor remains a working fishing port. The settlement grew around a U.S. Army post established in 1857 and named for Braxton Bragg. The Skunk Train continues the area’s rail heritage with excursions from Fort Bragg into redwood country. Glass Beach in MacKerricher State Park is known for sea glass left by former dump sites.
