Westport (formerly Beall's Landing) is an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California.[1] It is located on California State Route 1 near the Pacific Ocean[2] 13 miles (21 km) north of Fort Bragg,[3] at an elevation of 125 feet (38 m).[1]
The first post office at Westport opened in 1879.[3] Originally called Beall's Landing in honor of Samuel Beall, first white settler, the place was renamed in 1877 by James T. Rodgers who built a timber loading facility for the name to contrast with his home town of Eastport, Maine.[3]
As of July 2010 the population of Westport is 60. It has one gasoline station notable for classic fuel pumps and a scenic view of the coast.
