Cleone (formerly Kanuck)[5] is a census-designated place[6] in Mendocino County, California, United States.[2] It is located 3.25 miles (5.2 km) north-northeast of Fort Bragg[5] on California State Highway 1, at an elevation of 79 feet (24 m).[2] It most likely takes its name from Kelio, a division or village of the Pomo people.[7] The population was 622 at the 2020 census.[3]
The Kanuck post office opened in 1883, changed its name to Cleone in 1883, and closed in 1908.[5] In 1883, a sawmill was constructed about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the village of Cleone.[8] Wood products were shipped from a wharf at the place.[5] Railroad cars ran down the hill to the chute by gravity and were returned by horses.[8]
The main entrance to MacKerricher State Park is in Cleone.
