Situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Northern California is quaint and quiet McKinleyville, an unincorporated community with a population of approximately 14,000.

If you are traveling up or down the Northern California Coastline or are interested in moving to Humboldt County please check our visitor and/or relocation section.  There is plenty to see and do.

The community of McKinleyville was first settled in the late 1800's.  Previously named Minor, the community changed its name in honor of late President William McKinley after his assasination in 1901.

McKinleyville has now become the fastest growing community on the North Coast.  With a growing  number of retail, professional services, community services and conveniences, it is still able to retain its rural charm.  Activities for families are plentiful and there is an active Senior Center.  With the Arcata-Eureka Airport at the North end of town, McKinleyville is the commercial air gateway to Humboldt County and the North Coast.
