Ukiah (/juːkaɪʌ/) is a city in Umatilla County, Oregon, United States. The population was 186 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Hermiston-Pendleton Micropolitan Statistical Area. It was named by an early settler after the town of Ukiah, California.[5]

Ukiah is tied with Seneca, in Grant County, for the coldest official temperature in Oregon.[6] Ukiah dropped to −54 °F (−48 °C) on February 9, 1933, during a major cold snap across Siberia and North America.[7] On February 10, Seneca also hit −54 °F,[8] so the National Weather Service gives Seneca the record because it had the most recent occurrence of that temperature.[6][7]
