Glenblair, California
Glenblair or Glen Blair was an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California.[1] It was located 15 miles (24 km) north-northwest of Comptche,[2] at an elevation of 207 feet (63 m).[1]
A post office operated at Glenblair from 1903 to 1928.[2] The name honors the Glen Blair Lumber Company that shipped lumber from the place.[2]
Glen Blair was a lumbering community from 1885 to 1928, located on Pudding Creek a few miles inland from Fort Bragg. The town was centered around a sawmill, but also had a school, social hall, general store, and saloon. The sawmill discontinued operation in 1925, and the logging railroad to Fort Bragg was removed in 1942.[3] Today, the Glen Blair townsite can be reached by hiking trail, but little remains.[4] A Glen Blair Bar near the old townsite opened in 2022, accessible only by a special stop on the California Western Railroad.[5]
